The story behind
Sonho de Maria, according to DoReSol
The song Sonho de Maria, with music by Marcos Valle and Paulo Sérgio Valle, immerses us in a piece that, despite its short duration of 3:20, evokes a particular atmosphere. The voice of Elis Regina, a central figure in the music of Brazil, brings this composition to life, conveying a sensitivity that invites reflection. The title itself, Sonho de Maria, suggests a dreamlike narrative, an intimate space where emotions and thoughts unfold.
Elis Regina Carvalho Costa, born in Porto Alegre in 1945 and passed away in São Paulo in 1982, is remembered as one of the most outstanding voices of MPB. Her interpretation in Sonho de Maria is part of a prolific career that established her as an artist of great influence. The collaboration with the Valle brothers on this specific piece adds another layer to the richness of her musical legacy, showcasing the diversity of her repertoire and her ability to connect with different styles and composers.
