"I can die" "Tomorrow" "Because I know That every bohemian will suffer" "I know I must offer my homage to a great singer... that practically opened the door for us... which was Nora Ney."

"And this "she's the best"... remains until our present days... to everything and everybody." "The Brazilian" "States" "Present themselves" "In this joyful party" "And splendor" "I must look like Sophia Loren... or like Farah Dibah." "We're checking, you choose." "If suddenly..."

"This will all change with God's help." "It's not plausible for a country that wants to be seen as developed one... as righteous one... to let all this marvelous things we still have in hands be forgotten... which are alive and singing and being shown." "This is what we must do." "To show, to tell... what our life was, what this country was... what Rio de Janeiro was."

"Nowadays the radio is focused on the young generation." "Why can't Carmélia Alves sing?" "The youth doesn't know who Carmélia Alves is." "The youth doesn't know who is Ellen de Lima... who is Carminha Mascarenhas." "And this is not their fault." "We are in oblivion... even though we shouldn't, because we are being extinguished." "These singers who are still alive... they got together and they made this show... which was a success, "The Radio Singers"." "The concert "The Flowers are Coming Back" is a show of the radio singers... from Ricardo Cravo Albin that retells the story... of ten great divas from the Brazilian radio era."

"Carmen, Aurora, Aracy, Dolores..." "Dalva..." "Elizeth Cardoso, Nora Ney, Isaurinha Garcia, ten divas total." "Carmen Miranda was, indeed, the most important star... from the beginning of the 1930's and so forth for the Brazilian popular music... which firmed not only the Radio Era... the disco era, the era of the electric recording... which she presented with geniality." "Then she moved to the United States in 1940." "For some time she received the best income in Hollywood... and she became a comedian actress instead of a singer properly." "She only recorded thirty-six songs when she left Brazil... and while in here she recorded hundreds." "Carmen was an idol to me." "I started singing when I was seventeen... when I was eighteen I was already here at the Copacabana Palace." "Carmen was in the US and wasn't coming back to Brazil, she was living there." "Cesar Ladeira was searching for a singer... who would sing in Carmen's style." "And that was for me because I only sang Carmen Miranda... and I turned my eyes, did like this with my hands..." "I was a girl, she was my idol and every artist has an idol." "Later on we develop our own artistic personality." "So I was introduced in Carmen's show and became very successful." "That was when Copacabana discovered me and I became a crooner here." "I was Carmen Miranda's fan." "I loved her." "That's why I won a contest singing one of the songs she recorded." "I thought she was the greatest singer." "She danced, and did those moves... when you see me on stage I do all these things..." "I dance, I tap, I do my best." "I look like a little kid on stage."

"Going with the flow Going with the flow" "But it's wonderful, son." "Singing for me is one of the most divine things." "I, for example, could never live without singing." "Aracy, for example, who was the one who had more things to tell... she didn't travel by plane." "And one day National Radio received homage in Belem." "Evidently, to go to Belém we had to travel by plane." "Vitor Costa put all the singers together in his office... saying "Let's talk about the project, let's make a very beautiful show... in National Radio homage"... and then he started to discuss the repertoire that we would perform." "Aracy entered the room, angry, aggressive and with bad manners... saying: "I won't go to this concert, you know that I don't travel by plane..." "I'm very scared and I don't want to die in a crashed plane, I won't go"." "Then we all said, "Aracy, this is foolish"..." "I assure you, let's travel together"." "She said: "No, I won't"." "And then Nelson Gonçalves, nervous, came to her and said..." ""Aracy, pay attention." "Why are you afraid of flying by plane?" "Aracy, you know we only die when our day comes." "Did you know it?"" "And she said: "Yes, I know"." "And then she looked at him seriously... and said: "But what if it is the day of the pilot?"" "So everybody started laughing and we dismissed her from the show." "I liked Aracy de Almeida and the way she used to sing... with her nose, this way..." "Oh, oh my God Have mercy on me" "Everybody lives" "She didn't give a damn, you see." "She was always herself."

"National Radio used to be the dominant of all the Brazilian space... as here in Rio de Janeiro, and all the great names worked at National Radio... and our beloved "Isaurinha" was a very passionate woman." "She was very passionate." "So I remember when singing at Record Radio in São Paulo... and when she got there with all that voraciousness for passion... for Walter Wanderley, and threatened to kill herself." "I used to get so sad..." "And the next day I kept on hearing the radio... and checking the newspapers to find out... if Isaurinha had indeed done such a thing."

"For the love of your little children, no!" "Well, our show "The Radio Singers" was an idea... actually, a brilliant idea of an actor, Erico de Freitas." "He had this wonderful idea of joining six singers... who were in stardom at that moment... to make this project, at a time when not even two singers sang together." "Each one divided the stage alone with one guest sometimes..." " And the musicians." " And the musicians." "So our show started with you, and me, and Viola..."

"If Bethânia, who's an icon of our present days said that about her... you can imagine the impact that Dalva had and what she meant in her time." "I first met Dalva at National Radio when she was a member of the "Golden Trio"." "That was she, her husband Herivelto Martins, and Nino Chagas." "The three of them."

"To try and make this youth become aware of the green and yellow flag..." " Cool." " Said and done." "Oh, this people were bohemians." "And she was such an impressive woman in her creativity..." "It seemed that she was possessed." "Dolores..." "We had an affectionate nickname to Dolores... because she was very young and had this little round face... and two very prominent cheeks... so her nickname was "little cheeky"." "We were all very fond of "little cheeky"." "She died very young." "She died of a heart disease." "She had this cardiac problem and searched for a doctor, a specialist... and the doctor told her, "You can't keep on leading this life of yours... singing every night, going to sleep at five in the morning, drinking... and all those things because you have a problem... you have a heart murmur and you'll have to be under restrictions." "You'll have to sing less, and have a more guided life"." "And she said, "Doctor, if I'll leave less, now I know that..." "I won't stop and I'll keep on living my life... and the nightlife to its fullest"." "And that was what she did." "There was a problem with a car crash..." "I can't recall if it was with an airplane or with a car, it was a disaster... and the parents of a child passed away... and she raised this little girl who were left alone... and she used to look at her with such warm affection... as if she was her own mother and it was then when this song came up..." "Today I want The most beautiful rose that exists" "And the first star in heaven" "To warm the night of my beloved" "She made this song for that child whom she began to raise on that day." "So it's a very beautiful story." "And there's another interesting fact... she was in a nightclub when she got inspired to create a song... and she looked at the child and wanted to make the song... and in the same nightclub she was sitting with Tom and Vinícius." "And she said, "I have this idea, these lyrics in my mind..." "I'm in love with my little daughter"." "Since there was no paper to write it down... she got this piece of bill and started writing the lyrics there... in order to not forget anything and get home with it written... and finish the composition she made for her daughter."

"Life is difficult." "Life is very difficult." "I..." "I was married with Nora... for... 52 years." "And she... created... a new form of singing." "Nora Ney broke a taboo of many years... because we were used to hear only soprano voices... like the ones from Dalva de Oliveira..." "Angela Maria, whose voices were sharper." "She created... this new form of singing... to generate more employments!" "I was Nora's fan." "Actually, I'm a fan of them all, you know." "But Nora had a very special voice... a bass voice type."
