In a more recent conversation, as early as April 2022, she reflected on her age: “She’s not 70 like she used to be! I kept remembering when I drew it as a young girl, I had seen a picture of a woman up on the edge of the pool. He was 40 at the time. I admired him, because when I was little a 30-year-old woman was a “lady” – and she was 40! “
“Now, at 70, this big crown, why should I be a 70 year old crown, but no, I’m a 70 year old. Because I even gave up on being an adult. I didn’t like the experience. The adult world is. a failure. He likes war, honesty, meanness, I hate everything, “he continued.
Over the course of his career, which gained national importance with the Novos Baianos, in the 1970s, Baby went through several stages in his life. She remembers some of them below, accompanied by some of their songs.
When she was under 20, she formed the Novos Baianos group, along with other names that would become famous, such as Pepeu Gomes (to whom she was married), Paulinho Boca de Cantor, Luiz Galvão, Moraes Moreira, Jorginho Gomes and Dadi Carvalho.

After making a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago (from Compostela) in 1998, he told Estadão: “The path has completely changed the course of my life. without fear of collision. I left everything that bothered me on the street, the surname Consuelo was one of those things. ” From her experience of hers, the book Pellegrino, my journey on the way.
After nearly two decades apart, Novos Baianos would reunite again in 1997 to record a double disc for MTV. “It will be wonderful to show young people the importance of the Novos Baianos for the generation of the 70s. We have a great friendship since we lived together. Sometimes we quarrel, like every family quarrels. This return was inevitable,” he said in Estadão. that year. Almost 20 years later, the group would meet again, with Pepeu Gomes, Paulinho Boca, Baby do Brasil, Moraes Moreira and Luiz Galvão.

“In 30 years, if Rock In Rio still exists, which performance will be remembered as the iconic of the festival? The reunion on stage of Baby do Brasil and Pepeu Gomes will necessarily be on the list., Even if they are no longer together, the chemistry on stage is flawless. ” Thus, critics of Estadão highlighted the artist’s exhibition at Rock In Rio in 2015.
