Maria Bethania

A Menina dos Meus Olhos is Maria Bethânia's love returned to Mangueira, a samba school that honored her in 2016. It is also a tribute to the artists who came before, such as Clementina de Jesus and Aracy de Almeida, with whom she learned to love and singing the samba of Mangueira. This release also marks the encounter with two special people in her life: her brother Caetano Veloso and nephew Moreno Veloso.
