Elisinha Coelho

Elisinha Coelho was the launcher of “Zero Rancho Fundo” (Ary Barroso), having been — with Silvinha Melo, Orlando Silva, Nuno Roland, Marília Batista, and Aracy de Almeida — among the initial performers on Rádio Nacional specialized in Brazilian music. Having performed often in the Cassino da Urca (Rio de Janeiro), in a few events in duo with worldwide performers like Jean Sablon and Pedro Vargas, Coelho also released several other tracks by Barroso (up to 11, from the full total of 30 documented by her), such as for example “Batuque” (in duo with Sílvio Caldas), “Tenho Saudade,” “Minha Palmeira Triste,” (with Lamartine Babo), and “Caco Velho.” Coelho got her 1st invitation to execute on radio in 1929, debuting in the Rádio Clube perform Brasil (Rio de Janeiro). Within the next yr, she documented her 1st 78 rpm record with “A Minha Viola é de Primeira” and “Capelinha de Melão” (both by Tia Amélia). By the finish of 1930, she was asked by Heckel Tavares to some recitals through the northeast where the duo interpreted music with the composer. In 1931, she was asked by Ary Barroso to record his “No Rancho Fundo” (supported by the Barroso on the piano and by Rogério Guimarãha sido on electric guitar), which would turn into a traditional of Brazilian well-known music. The melody made her well-known throughout the nation and she performed in 1935 and 1936 in Argentina. Having been an associate of the ensemble from the Rádio Nacional since its base in 1936, Coelho agreed upon using the Rádio Mayrink Veiga shortly afterwards.
