about
Marlui Miranda's family has always had a relationship of pleasure with music. Her mother, without ever having studied or even played the guitar, was the one who first tuned the instrument that Marlui had received. At this time the family still lived in Fortaleza, where Marlui was born in 1949. When she was 5 years old, they moved to Rio de Janeiro, from where her father, an engineer, decided to take on the challenge of helping to build Brasília. It was 1959. Marlui began studying guitar in high school, amidst the cultural effervescence. Already at the Faculty of Architecture, she began attending meetings that brought names like Jacob do Bandolim and Victor Assis Brasil to Brasília. Instrumental music awakened Marlui's taste for composition. The singing was hidden by shyness. Despite this, in 68 she won 1st prize as a performer and composer at the Student Festival of the University of Brasília. Marlui left university and went to Rio willing to make a living from music. She started singing with Egberto Gismonti and through him she met Taiguara, with whom she traveled throughout Brazil performing as guitarist in the group that accompanied him. In the mid-70s Marlui began studying classical guitar with Jodacil Damasceno and Turíbio Santos. She started to sing and play the guitar with Jards Macalé and had a song of hers, "Airecillos", recorded by Ney Matogrosso on the LP "Bandido". Marlui also organized, together with the poet Xico Chaves, the project "Circuito Aberto de MPB", h
