The story behind
The song *Dengosa*, with its 2:46 duration, presents us with a young Elis Regina at a moment of great artistic maturity. A notable confidence and vitality are perceived in her performance, demonstrating an absolute command of her voice. The album to which it belongs, released in 1963, featured the orchestral direction of Luiz Astor da Silva, who at the time also served as the principal director of Columbia Brasileira and was involved in the early career of Roberto Carlos.
Astor Silva's influence was crucial in Elis Regina's approach to samba and Brazilian popular music. This album, which includes twelve tracks, is the singer's third studio work. Critics, through voices such as John Bush of AllMusic, have highlighted the artist's solidity at this stage, describing her as vibrant and with supreme control of her vocal instrument. Elis Regina Carvalho Costa, born in Porto Alegre in 1945, became a central figure in Brazilian popular music, leaving an indelible mark before her passing in 1982.
