Pimentinha or "Little Pepper" began stealing the show at age fourteen. When divas roamed the Earth, the sun beat down hardest on the streets of Brasil, where the chanteuse Elis Regina cooked up the spell she cast on all of us. Can we ever forget? Has it been that long? Many will remember much of the sixties as a time of Pimentinha, when every one spoke Portuguese and everyone was just another beach kid soaking up the heat caught in the bars of nighttime Ipanema.
Old Tom Jobim used to play with her and bring the house down.
Can you hear her sca-sca-scat?
