Singer/folklorist Ely Camargo devoted her career almost entirely to exploring and promoting the music of her native state, Goias, a landlocked area in central Brazil. Her father, Joaquim Edison Camargo, was the director of the Orquestra Sinfonica de Goiania, but Ely pursued a less erudite musical path, delving into the music of "the people," in album after album. Here's a quick look at her work...
