The story behind
Roda, according to DoReSol
The song Roda, with the voice of Elis Regina, invites us on a sonic journey of just over two and a half minutes. Its structure, born from the collaboration between Gilberto Gil and João Augusto, unfolds with a particular energy that invites attentive listening. Elis Regina's interpretation, a prominent figure in Brazilian popular music, is the heart of this piece, conveying a depth that resonates even in its short duration.
Born as Elis Regina Carvalho Costa in Porto Alegre, Brazil, her legacy transcends time. Although her life was cut short in 1982, her voice left an indelible mark. The composition of Roda is framed within this context, where artists like Gilberto Gil explored the possibilities of Brazilian music, and Elis Regina stood out as an interpreter capable of bringing great works to life.
