Composer Sueli Costa (1943 – 2023) leaves behind beautiful and still little-known songs like ‘Amor é otra libertad’ and ‘Nowhere’ Breno Cunha / Publicity ♪ MEMÓRIA – Due to the feminine sensitivity of the melodies, the songbook by Rio de Janeiro composer Sueli Costa (25 July 1943 – March 4, 2023) is immortalized in women’s voices. All of the artist’s most notable recordings of songs by singers, partner of lyricist poets such as Abel Silva, Cacaso (1944 – 1987), Tite de Lemos (1942 – 1989), Aldir Blanc (1946 – 2020) and Paulo César Pinheiro. To celebrate the legacy of Sueli Costa, who died at the age of 79 on Saturday, as a result of cardiac arrest suffered during surgery, Mauro Ferreira’s Blog chooses ten songs by Sueli Costa that have been recorded on albums by great Brazilian singers. ♪ Here, in chronological order, is the selection of ten fine pearls from the songbook by Sueli Costa, a composer released in 1967 in the voice of Nara Leão (1942 – 1989) with the recording of For example: you (Sueli Costa and João Medeiros Filho): 1. Coração atheist (Sueli Costa) with Maria Bethânia in a 1975 recording ♫ Singer who boosted the then-unknown composer’s career by including three previously unpublished songs – including Assombrações (Sueli Costa and Tite de Lemos) – in the show Rosa dos Ventos (1971), Bethânia was successful with Coração ateist. Rare composition in which Sueli signs music and lyrics, Coração ateu is a melancholic song that spilled poetry in a recording made by Bethânia with due delicacy for the soundtrack of the telenovela Gabriela (1975). The recording was the gateway for the public to discover Sueli Costa’s music. 2. Jura secreta (Sueli Costa and Abel Silva) with Simone in a 1977 recording ♫ From 1977 onwards, Simone became the most popular performer of Sueli Costa’s work. Until the end of the 1990s, it was rare for the singer to have an album without new music by the composer in the repertoire. Jura secreta stands out among so many hits for the density of Simone’s singing in this song about love and repressed feelings. 3. Inside me live an angel (Sueli Costa e Cacaso) with Fafá de Belém in a 1978 recording ♫ Sueli Costa herself featured Inside me live an angel, on the first of the eight albums she released between 1975 and 2018. But the recording that would become definitive was the one made by Fafá de Belém on the third album by the singer from Pará, Bath of smell (1978). Cacaso’s poetry lays bare the singer’s soul. 4. Ups and downs (Sueli Costa and Aldir Blanc) with Elis Regina (1945 – 1982) on a 1979 recording ♫ Attentive to the signals emitted by Bethânia in the show Rosa dos ventos, Elis went after it and released Vinte anos blue, a partnership between Sueli and the then debutante lyricist Vitor Martins, in a lapidary recording made for the 1972 album Elis. Even so, the most striking record of Sueli’s work in the singer’s voice is the recording of Altos e Baixos from the album Elis, this woman… (1979). With the precise mix of technique and emotion, Elis narrated the slow death of a love described in Aldir Blanc’s harrowing verses. 5. Voice and sweat (Sueli Costa and Abel Silva) with Nana Caymmi and Cesar Camargo Mariano in a 1983 recording ♫ A frequent performer of Sueli Costa, Nana Caymmi reached perfection many times when giving voice to the composer’s songs. Among so many gems, it is worth mentioning the recording of the song Voz e Sweat, title song of the 1983 album recorded by the singer in duo with pianist Cesar Camargo Mariano. 6. No Lugar (Sueli Costa and Tite de Lemos) with Angela Ro Ro in a 1984 recording ♫ Great and little heard song by Sueli Costa, No Lugar has only two recordings, the original made by Angela Ro Ro for the artist’s fifth album , Life Is Even Like That (1984), and the only re-recording, made by actor and singer Eduardo Conde (1946 – 2003) for Íntimo (1998), an album dedicated by Conde to the repertoire of Sueli Costa. In the lyrics of Nowhere, Tite de Lemos poetizes the marital drama of a woman submissive to passion for a man insensitive to the love and care of others. With a dense hoarse voice, Ro Ro understood the song and offered an emotional interpretation, soaked in a precise dose of melancholy. 7. Love is another freedom (Sueli Costa and Abel Silva) with Alaíde Costa and with Selma Reis (1960 – 2015) in recordings from 1987 ♫ Another of Sueli Costa’s most beautiful and lesser known songs, Amor is another freedom was released in the voice by the composer on the album Íntimo, from 1984. Three years later, two great recordings of the song reached the music market. In Brazil, Selma Reis performed the song on the independent album with which she performed in 1987, the same year that Alaíde Costa recorded Amor is another freedom for the album Falando de amor, released in France that year and released in Brazil only in 2000. 8 Red Rose (Sueli Costa and Paulo César Pinheiro) with Beth Carvalho (1946 – 2019) in a 1988 recording ♫ Sueli Costa was one of the songs. But she also fell into the samba with her usual delicacy. Rosa Vermelha opened the B-side of the original LP edition of the album Alma do Brasil, by Beth Carvalho, a savvy singer. 9. A woman’s voice (Sueli Costa and Abel Silva) with Leila Pinheiro in a 1988 recording ♫ Although many listeners have discovered this song in the voice of Edson Cordeiro, in an approach made for the singer’s first album, in 1992, Leila Pinheiro is the original female voice performer. The music is special for evoking the destiny followed by Sueli Costa’s songbook, a composer immortalized in women’s voices. 10. Thank you (Sueli Costa and Cacaso) with Lucinha Lins in a 2002 recording ♫ At the end of the album Brazilian Song – Lucinha Lins interprets Sueli Costa (2022), the singer fell into swing when reviving samba launched by Beth Carvalho in the album Interpreter (1991) ). In posthumous lyrics, Cacaso thanks God for the time given to live, “the walk He gives me to pass”. Grateful, God, for the beautiful path found by Sueli Costa’s music in the voices of women in Brazil.
