Célia Regina Cruz (September 8, 1947 – September 29, 2017), known mononymously as Célia, was a Brazilian singer.[1]
Career
Célia began her musical career on the TV show Um Instante, Maestro! in 1970, debuting her self-titled album, which was produced with Discos Continental.[2] It featured songs from songwriters including Rogério Duprat, Joyce, Lô Borges, Ivan Lins, and Nelson Angelo. Her second album, released in 1972, which was also self-titled, featured songs written by Marcos Valle, Erasmo Carlos, and Tom Jobim. Both albums were arranged by Arthur Verocai,[3][4] on whose self-titled album she appeared on the track "Seriado".[5]
Célia performed in Italy, France, Brazil, and other countries in Latin America. At one point, she performed in Monaco for Prince Rainier III. She also hosted the TV show Qual é a Música? for some time.[6]
Célia's greatest success in Brazil was for her cover of "Onde Estão Os Tamborins?", or "Where Are The Tamborins?" in English, which was released as a single in 1975.[7] She was also well known for her cover of "Adeus Batucada," or "Farewell Batucada" in English.[8]
Since album repressings by Mr Bongo and Warner Music and the sampling of her recording "David" in "Opaul" by rapper Freddie Dredd, Célia has seen a resurgence of popularity, particularly among younger generations.[9]
Death
Célia died in 2017 due to lung cancer, after being hospitalized for a month.[2][10]
