  • oooo what a smooooth song!!

  • The name is written "Mariazinha" ("Little Mary"). The lyrics are about Nereci, a girl who was taken away by the sea. I don't know if they're based on a true event. Check out my free translation:

    Nereci

    When the sea took away Nereci

    was it by treachery?

    Will she be back with today's tide

    as the Queen of the Sea?

    Beyond all that's beyond

    Beyond overseas

    Nereci beyond the blue will be.

  • Or I wonder if her name is Marizinha (as in "Little Mariza, or Marisa" [?]). Because that's how I see her credited elsewhere.

  • @oRuTRa45 I have the original Brazilian CD, and she's credited "Mariazinha".

  • Damn, what a nice track. A Mariazinha's voice is like whoa...shit.

  • Marianzinha or Marian zinha "might" be the female singer.

  • then again, i don't speak Portuguese, so i could be wrong

  • I think it's her. I'm hoping to find other songs or albums she's featured in, like Marcos Valle's album Garra. She has a lovely voice.

  • So that must have been her on "Black Is Beautiful" then? Cool.

    I'll give two of the best LPs she's sung on, and these are some seminal recordings. África Brasil by Jorge Ben and Bicho by Caetano Veloso.

  • @pideloo

    I actually found her.

    it's hard to find her because she made most of her records with her sisters Trio Esperanca, which featured her sister, Evinha, who was also a great singer of MPB in the '60s and '70s.

    They still perform together as a group.

    They have videos all over YouTube.

  • @FoxNewsChannelSux Alright!!! thanks for the info :)

  • Muito suingue.

  • Rien à dire, c'est le meilleur Djavan

  • Thank you for posting this!!! I heard this song purely by accident and have been looking for it ever since.

  • Man!!!! Thanx for posting this. I'v been looking for this song for the longest. I thought It was roy ayers and i had this from the radio station. Thanx a mill. I'll be looking for this album.

  • Yeah, it does kinda have that Roy Ayers vibe to it. That vibraphonist is definitely Jota Moraes though. If you're fortunate enough to find anything he's on where he plays vibes, check it. It's more than likely good to go. He also plays keys.

  • Thanks oRuTRa45 for providing some good info on this song

  • Djavan parece uma entidade africana nessa foto! Fantástico! Lindooooo!

  • Haunting melody, African rhythm, this song's like a drug :)

  • @URSINHOdePELUCHE

    the song tells the sad story of a girl who died for treason led to the sea ....

    her name is Nereci.

  • @URSINHOdePELUCHE Brazilian not African...

  • Absolutely wonderful track! Used to listen to this years back, but forgot all about it, until now that is!
