My name is Nilza Simões and I start making a call: Would you like to make a trip back in time and space?
Then go to the forest region north of Pernambuco and Paraiba in the mid-twentieth century.
I chose to show you the song “Feira de Mangaio”. Sivuca is its composer with his wife Glorinha Gadelha. Sivuca was born in 1930. He began playing at age 9, when he won an accordion from his father. Sivuca was one of the best accordionists in Brazil. He recorded over 40 albums.
He sang in "Feira de Mangaio" the world and the sounds of my childhood, adolescence and early adulthood in the years between 1946 to about 1973, when I moved to Recife with my husband and my first daughter.
The lyrics of the song "Fair Mangaio" tells of a small grocery store. My father was a grocer and sold some of the products cited by Sivuca. I heard this song the first time in 1977. I cried with nostalgia for childhood.

I also want to highlight Clara Nunes, one of the greatest interpreters of this song. She was a pioneer when recording music of Candomblé, the religion of African origin. She sang “Feira de Mangaio“ in Japan, and many other places in the word. She died prematurely at age 40 after an unsuccessful surgery.
