Elis Regina Carvalho Costa, known simply as Elis Regina, was one of the most talented and celebrated Brazilian singers of the 20th century. Born on March 17, 1945, in Porto Alegre, she rose to fame in the late 1960s and became renowned for her emotive vocal performances, impeccable technique, and profound interpretation of both Brazilian and international music. With a career that spanned more than two decades, Elis Regina embraced a range of genres, but she is best remembered for her significant contributions to Brazilian popular music (MPB), bossa nova, and samba.
Her edgy, expressive voice and dynamic stage presence captivated audiences, and her music continues to be celebrated posthumously, as evidenced by the numerous remastered albums and compilations that honor her legacy, such as "Falso Brilhante," "Elis Regina - Original Album Series," and "O Melhor de Elis (Ao Vivo)." Her life, marked by both intense professional acclaim and personal struggles, was cut tragically short when she unexpectedly passed away in 1982 at the age of 36. Despite her untimely death, Elis Regina's impact on Brazilian music endures, influencing countless artists and leaving a body of work that resonates with the depth and passion of her extraordinary talent.
