To honor the legacy of Elza Soares in the national musical repertoire, Ecad (Central Office for Collection and Distribution) listed the songs that the singer most re-recorded by other composers
One year ago, on January 20th, one of the greatest icons of Brazilian popular music, Elza Soares left us, aged 91, due to natural causes. With a career that spanned 70 years, more than 30 albums released and thousands of fans impacted by her impressive voice, the artist continued to perform until the last moment.
With a remarkable voice, more than 30 albums and lyrics about racism, feminism and love, she has made an invaluable contribution to the national repertoire. For the occasion, the ecad (Central Collection and Distribution Office) carried out a study on this legacy of the artist, which has 930 recordings registered in the collective management of music in Brazil.
