ON AQUARELAS & QUERELAS

Querelas do Brasil, written by Maurcio Tapajs and Aldir Blanc, was first recorded by Elis Regina in her 1978 album Transversal do Tempo.

The title clearly refers to Aquarela do Brasil, the famous music composed by Ary Barroso. However, the similarity between the two songs does not go further.

Written in 1939 and extolling the qualities and grandiosity of the Country, Aquarela do Brasil started in music an extremely patriotic movement that would be known as samba-exaltao [samba-exaltation].

Querelas do Brasil displays another reality, quite different from that depicted by the boastful verses of Aquarela do Brasil.

Tapajs and Blanc draw attention to Brasils political, social and cultural matters, represented by customs, arts, folklore and indigenous influences. The Portuguese word Querela comes from Latin [Querella] and can be translated into English as Complaint, Grievance, Lament.
