Aracy de AlmeidaPortuguese pronunciation:[aɾaˈsidʒiawˈmejdɐ] (August 19, 1914 – June 20, 1988) was a Brazilian singer, known as a famous artist of the Golden Age of Brazilian radio.[1] Her 1950 album Noel Rosa e Aracy de Almeida was voted by Rolling Stone one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all time.
Early life
Aracy Teles de Almeida was born on August 19, 1914. She was raised in Encantado, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, in a large Protestant family. Her father, Baltazar Teles de Almeida, was a Central do Brasil train conductor, and her mother, Mrs. Hermogênea, was a housewife. She had only male siblings.[citation needed]
She studied in a school in the neighborhood of Engenho de Dentro, where she was a classmate of the radio broadcaster Alziro Zarur [PT], later moving to Colégio Nacional, in Méier. Aracy would sing religious hymns at her local Baptist Church and, in secrecy from her parents, would sing songs of Candomblé deities at their places of worship and in carnival blocks.[citation needed]
