#WHO SANG DONA DONA FULL#

ThereвЂ™s nothing polite about Dona OneteвЂ™s singing-despite its age her appealingly weathered voice remains agile, powerful, and full of zest, and her music moves at a brisk dance floor-filling pace.

Her 2012 debut FeitiГ§o Caboclo put her on the map she began touring around Brazil and once the record was released in the UK she began playing in Europe.

While serving she began to write songs, and sheвЂ™s credited with creating the hybrid style called вЂњcarimbГі chamegado.вЂќ She wrote more than 300 songs during her public service career, and when she retired she and her husband moved to BelГ©m, they planned to live out their days quietly, but the urge to perform, just for fun, whether singing to herself along the river or in a local bar, led to her discovery by a BelГ©m band who convinced her to join forces. Her deep interest in music and dance led to her election as Municipal Secretary of Culture in the city. She went on to become a professor of history and Amazonian studies at the university in the town of IgaparГ© Miri, where she grew up. A few years later she would perform sambas and other regional styles in a local bar for beer. She listened to music and attended dances as a child, and when she was 11 she began singing while washing clothes along the river. She was born in 1938 in Cachoeira do ArarГ, a small town in the Amazon delta near BelГ©m, the capital and largest city in the state of ParГЎ. SheвЂ™s not exactly a late-bloomer, even though she only recorded her first album when she was 73. The remarkable Brazilian singer Dona Onete (nee Ionete da Silveira Gama) is 78 years old, and she makes her Chicago debut behind the release of her second album Banzeiro.
