YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m about to go on tour tomorrow with some of my best friends
And yet I’m still missing her. Breaking new year’s resolutions one post at a time.
Maria Bethânia’s 1965 stirring interpretation of Carcará. Bethânia was only 17 years-old during this performance, which turned her into an overnight sensation.
Maria Bethânia (born June, 18, 1946 in Santo Amaro da Purificação, Bahia, Brazil) is a Brazilian singer and the second best selling Brazilian female singer of all time. Considered to be one of the greatest interpreters in the history of Brazilian popular music, Bethânia has released 50 studio albums in 47 years of career and has sold over 26 million records. Politically active and openly opposed to Brazil’s military dictatorship that ruled the country from the mid 60’s to the mid 80’s, this singer often came into conflict with the government when dissent in music was censored. Bethânia to this day remains one of the most recognizable and active voices in Brazil.
So my good friend, Lewis Mundt, over at Beard Poetry is putting out my first ever chapbook. This book will include a collection of poems I wrote over the past couple of years. I’ll be selling these books on the Old Gray/I Kill Giants tour. I’m really excited on how these turned out, and I’m super grateful to Lewis for helping me put it out. Hopefully you guys will like it.
