The Maranhense is the grand prizewinner of the 30th Brazilian Music Prize
Out of the 29 editions of the Traditional Brazilian Music Awards (PMB), Alcione won 21 trophies and competed in different categories. Now, in the thirtieth year of the ceremony, Marrom will have no competition: this Wednesday (the 31st) she will take the stage at the Theatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro as the grand prizewinner of the party celebrating her 75th birthday, on her 50th career as a phonograph.
I can’t even remember the last time I cried, I’m tough. But I am sure that there will be no lack of emotions and good music. A lot will be a surprise for me says dear Maranhão, who will also be the storyline of the Estação Primeira de Mangueira in 2024: I didn’t expect all this. I think there are so many people who need to be honored and they’ve passed me by… But when I looked at it, 50 years have passed! So I’m ready to receive.

In search of the unusual

Just like Rita (in “Saúde”) sang, my intention is to make many people happy when I go on stage, as long as I am alive and full of grace quotes Alcione, who avoids the term “death”, in in the face of so many significant losses for Brazilian music in recent years: “These are people who will live on forever in our imaginations.” I’m glad we have them all in our art!

In her wardrobe there are more than 400 exclusive pieces that the singer does not leave behind.
— I like to think of myself as pretty and well dressed. And don’t leave everything in storage, age! I donate a lot. For my sisters, for friends, and for crossdressers who work on me at night — the veteran, who has also donated baskets and blankets of basic necessities to the homeless and registered institutions, reveals: — I’ve been doing this work for decades, whenever I arrive this time of year , it’s cooler. But I don’t like to tell. My gang knows where to help.
more homemade

“I’m calmer. My colleague, I am over 70, I want to enjoy my singing and my family. I love talking to my sister, watching TV… I watch the soap operas “Reis” and “Jesus”, I especially love biblical stories says Alcione, who, as a spiritualist, says that the biggest “Choke” ( Title of (one of her successes) he went through loses his voice: Thank god and to Dr Fritz I got her back (then she had spiritual surgery about 30 years ago) Nowadays I take care just about her wetting her throat with saline solution Over the years I’ve noticed my voice getting better and better.
