Celebrating Maria Bethânia on her 78th birthday.
Maria Bethânia is by far one of the most important singers from Brazil and actually comes from a family of artists - her bother, for instance, is none other than Caetano Veloso. She started her carrer in 1965 replacing Nara Leão on the play "Opinião". Soon after, she released her first record through RCA, but it was at Philips she'd record some of her greatest success. She was part of the quartert Doces Barbaros alongside her brother, Caetano, Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa - with whom it's widely speculated she dated for a while in the 70's. She also recorded with Chico Buarque, Zeca Pagodinho, Alcione and many others Brazilian icons.
She's considered the queen of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) and known as 'Abelha Rainha' (queen bee - eat your heart out, Beyonce). Maria Bethânia inspired every generation that came after her and it's a common sense in Brazil she's more than just a great singer/artist, she's a force of nature.
Happy birthday, Maria Bethânia!

Grandola Vila Morena: The Famous 25 of April 1974 Song with English Subtitles
“Grandola, Vila Morena” holds a special place in the hearts of the Portuguese people as a symbol of resistance and hope during the Carnation Revolution. Written and composed by Zeca Afonso, this iconic folk song became an anthem for the peaceful uprising against the authoritarian Estado Novo regime on April 25th, 1974.

floribela, anti-capitalist icon da nossa infância
POBRES DOS RICOS, QUE TANTO TÊM
P’RA QUE É QUE SERVE TANTO DINHEIRO
POIS FALTAM SONHOS, FALTA VONTADE
FALTA O TEMPO E A LIBERDADE
VIVEM COM MEDO DE PERDER ALGO
MUITA ARROGÂNCIA E MUITA GANÂNCIA
FALTA O TEMPO E A ESPERANÇA
FALTA A ALEGRIA E O SOL DA MANHÃ
POBRES DOS RICOS, QUE SEM VERDADE
VIVEM A VIDA SEM LIBERDADE
NÃO TENHO NADA
MAS TENHO, TENHO TUDO
SOU RICA EM SONHOS
E POBRE, POBRE EM OURO
POIS NÃO ME IMPORTA
POIS SÓ POR TER DINHEIRO
NÃO COMPRO AMIGOS, ESTRELAS
UM AMOR VERDADEIRO
zeca volta e faz uma cover disto

An oldie but a good one - Anjo da Guarda by Antônio Variações - the first portugueses gay pop icon. And anything by José (Zeca) Afonso - a portuguese singer/writer of folk and protest songs, his lyrics are amazing.
these sound amazing! thank you so so much 🥰

marco pigossi gif pack
So after Tidelands came out, a face that I was most interested in was Marco Pigossi. I thought his character was cool and I know that Tumblr blew up too. And after some recs from my lovely followers, I just decided to dive into his soap opera days and you know, gif something from there!
So in the following pack, you can find 55 gifs of Marco Pigossi as Zeca in the first episode of the Brazilian TV show A Força do Querer (2017). All these gifs were capped and coloured by yours truly. Marco is of Brazilian nationality.
Feel free to like and reblog this pack, and use it for your needs. Please be mindful of my rules, and don’t edit or crop these gifs into icons without my permission.
