Life and career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Evinha began her professional career in 1961 as a member of Trio Esperança alongside her siblings Mário and Regina.[1][2] In 1968, when Regina got pregnant and the trio went on hiatus, she made her solo debut with "Casaco Marrom", which turned to be a hit.[3] In 1969, she won the fourth Festival Internacional da Canção with "Cantiga por Luciana" and released her first album Eva 2001.[1][3] In the 1970s she got several hits, notably "As canções que você fez pra mim" (composed by Roberto and Erasmo Carlos), "Teletema", and "Que bandeira".[1][4] In the second half of the decade she started a collaboration both in studio and live performances with Paul Mauriat and his orchestra.[1][4] After marrying Mauriat orchestra's pianist Gerard Gambus, she moved to Paris and slowed her activities.[1]
In the 1990s Evinha rejoined Trio Esperança, with her sister Marisa replacing her brother Mario.[1] In 1999, she returned to perform in Brazil and recorded a new album, Reencontro.[1] In the 2020s, her success revamped when her 1971 song "Esperar pra ver" was used in a Renault commercial campaign and was later sampled by rapper BK'.[3]
Evinha was included by Rolling Stone Brasil in their list of the 100 greatest voices in Brazilian music.[4]
