Elza Soares (1937-2022) is the best Brazil. With her singularly raspy voice, she dared to name the many forms of hunger humanity experiences - not only for food, but also for sexual freedom, racial equality, art, and beauty.

"I always thought women needed to be free. To fight, to live, to love, to be happy, and to be free. I've embodied that idea since I was a girl."

This volume of Music Portraits includes an essay about Elza Soares's life and work, along with an original interview with the artist conducted in 2019 and her discography.
