Miúcha, The Voice of Bossa Nova + director Q&A (live via Zoom)

Miúcha, The Voice of Bossa Nova / Miúcha, A Voz Da Bossa Nova (Portugal / England / France)

Directed by Liliane Mutti and Daniel Zarvos | 2022

A tour de force, Miúcha, The Voice of Bossa Nova tells the story of the renowned Brazilian singer through her personal letters, audio diaries, home movies, and expressive watercolor drawings animated for the film.

The male musicians in Miúcha’s life overshadowed her. She was known as the sister of Chico Buarque, the pupil of Vinicius de Moraes, the second wife of João Gilberto, the musical partner of Antônio Carlos Jobim, and the vocal accompaniment to Stan Getz’s saxophone. But Miúcha’s vibrant spirit couldn’t be held back, even as she struggled to find her own voice in a man’s world.

She earned unprecedented success, becoming a symbol of female resilience and a musical legend forever.

Join us after the screening for a Q&A (live via Zoom) with directors Liliane Mutt and Daniel Zarvos who is also Miúcha's cousin!

This screening is part of IberoDocs 2024 film festival, supported by the Consulate General of Brazil.
