about
Aurora Miranda da Cunha (Apr 20, 1915 — Dec 22, 2005), Brasilian actress and singer, sister of the great Carmen Miranda. Aurora made her debut on the radio in 1932. Her first album, "Cai, Cai, Balão" (Assis Valente), came out the next year. She recorded successful carnaval themes and soon began performing as a duo with her sister. Her greatest hit was "Cidade Maravilhosa", the official anthem of Rio de Janeiro. Aurora kept singing and performing during the 1930s, but she got married in 1940 and moved to the United States, where she worked for Disney. She appeared in a few films, including The Three Caballeros, where she sings "Os Quindins de Yayá" with Donald Duck and José Carioca.
