Quickly establishing herself as a protagonist, some of her more overtly political tracks were banned by the military dictatorship during the harsh political climate of the 60s and 70s. Artists who have featured her compositions on their own recordings include a stellar list of Brazilian performers, such as Milton Nascimento, Elis Regina, Flora Purim, Gal Costa and Astrud Gilberto, in addition to American jazz leg
