———

Considered to be one of the greatest interpreters in the history of Brazilian popular music. Sister of the singer and composer Caetano Veloso, she began her artistic career in 1963, appearing in the play Boca de ouro by Nelson Rodrigues. A song about the play was written by Caetano Veloso, who opened the show singing a samba track by Ataulfo Alves. That year she met Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Tom Zé, Djalma Correa, Pitti, Alcivando Luz and Fernando Lona in Salvador, with whom she performed at the commemorations inaugurating the Vila Velha de Salvador theatre in 1964 in the shows Nós por exemplo and Nova bossa velha, velha bossa nova. In 1964 she also appeared in Mora na filosofia, her first solo show, when she met Nara Leão. A 1965 she replaced the muse of bossa nova in the show at Teatro Opinião (Rio de Janeiro), sharing the stage with Zé Kéti and João do Vale. She stood out for her stirring interpretation of the song Carcará. In 1965 she also recorded her first record, a single containing the tracks Carcará and É de manhã, the first recording of Caetano Veloso’s composition.

Rs... difícil escolher entre os mais de 50 álbuns de Bethânia o melhor, o engraçado que "as canções que você...." foi um álbum exigido pela gravadora, MB, queria gravar um album com canções de Vinicius, se minha memória não estiver equivocada... Eu particularmente, tenho loucura com o álbum de 1975 - Chico Buarque e Maria Bethania - Ao vivo, gosto de Pássaro de Noite, Álibi e dos espetáculos... Rosa dos Ventos, Cena Muda, Ato-reverso.... Enfim..... Perfect.... Atiraste uma pedra... e Costumes... são transcendentais...
