Glória Maria ‘lived the dream’ when dancing with Roberto Carlos and had a great friendship with the singer: ‘Talismã’

Glória Maria has already interviewed big stars, given scoops and made numerous trips. But among the unforgettable nights she even mentions the day when she danced with Roberto Carlos on the huge stage set up outdoors, in the Sultan’s Pool, next to the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, in 2011.

— I lived a dream! Suddenly, in the middle of “Unforgettable”, he asks me to dance together. Roberto was radiant at that show! He sang in an emotional way like he hadn’t done in a long time. In that audience, there were Jews, Muslims, Brazilians… It was a very strong moment of fraternization and spirituality, one of the most beautiful of my life. I’ve done millions of other things, but tonight I know I’ll never forget – she told EXTRA, days before presenting the Rei’s special on TV Globo, in 2020.

The journalist, who died this Thursday, the 2nd, even kept the memorable evening dress. And look at the opportunities alongside the singer.

— I have already presented four or five specials by Roberto, over all these years, and participated in about 15 or 20, interviewing or doing something else. He usually says that he likes having me around, that I’m his talisman. And he is mine!

The friendship between them does not exist only on the professional side. Days after Glória Maria underwent major brain surgery, it was the King who made the first call to find out how she was doing.

— Still dizzy, I picked up the cell phone and, when I heard “Glorinha!”, I knew it was him. Roberto said: “Don’t worry, you’ll get out of this, I’m with you”. We have a very special connection, since the times of Jovem Guarda. Our relationship is heartfelt. There are some people in my life that I always want to be around, and Roberto is indisputably one of them.
