The actress from the series ‘Antônia’ is another case of an artist despised by the music market and the media
Anyone who does a Google search on the death of Cindy Mendes will find articles informing about different ages: 34, 38, 42 years old…
This inaccuracy says a lot about the lack of recognition of the artist, remembered for having played Lena in the series ‘Antônia’, broadcast on Globo between 2006 and 2007.
After the end of the TV show, the first with four black women, the press was never very interested in her career.
While paying her respects posthumously, another ‘Antonia’ actress, Leilah Moreno, lamented the lack of consideration for her friend’s talent and career.
“Yes, you shined a lot like a diva!!! Diva misunderstood and little recognized as you said yourself. Maybe one day everyone will hear your art and know your worth!!!”
Cindy’s Rise and Twilight is an exception. It’s a story that repeats itself. An artist gets a big break on television, gives a powerful performance, and then disappears. Not willingly.
He just never gets another job with equal exposure to act, sing, poetize, deliver his message. She returns to the underground, to the ghetto, to the instability of a life dedicated to art.
There really isn’t room for everyone on TV and the media in general. Platforms are insufficient to receive and promote the vast number of qualified Brazilians. The strange thing is this dynamic of discarding so many of those who get there.
Cindy Mendes is no more, but her work continues. Listening to their songs is the best tribute.
