Virginia Rodrigues Virginia Rodrigues began singing in the Catholic church choirs in Salvador. When Marcio Meireles heard her, he invited her to take part in a play. Caetano Veloso was in the audience during one of the rehearsals, and he helped her to get recorded.

"To hear that song in the celestial voice that rose from the plump body of a solid black woman touched me deeply. From that time forward I had it in mind to cooperate in the recording of her art on record. With her voice, which transcends the distinction between erudite and popular, with the dense culture seated at the base of her calm and firm singing, she would be, without a doubt, a phonographic event of great importance." — Caetano Veloso
