Elizah interprets Geraldo Filme's " Batuque de Pirapora ".

Singer and songwriter Elizah (Elisa Álvares Rodrigues - Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul) spent her childhood in Mozambique. Upon returning to Brazil, she began singing in church choirs before starting her professional career as a singer performing together with guitarist Guinha Rodrigues in the early 1990's. Along with Guinha, she produced the show Como o Diabo Gosta, which also became her first album, released in 1995. That CD was followed by Beijo Manga in 1998, also with Guinha. Her career then took her to perform in Europe -- Austria, Germany and Portugal -- in 2000. Back in Brazil, she began working on Elizah, which was released in 2003 and featured arrangements by Daniel Sá (guitars) and Guello (percussion). Elizah features a select repertoire and some very special guests including Renato Braz, Yamandu Costa , Toninho Ferragutti, Nailor Proveta, Guello among several others. ( MusicaBrasileira.org )
