Biography
Marília Monteiro de Barros Batista (Rio de Janeiro, April 13, 1918 – July 9, 1990) was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist.
She was one of the most important interpreters of Noel Rosa's work, and she recorded six of his compositions with her as a duo: "De Babado," "Cem Mil Réis," "Provei," "Quanos Beijos," "Você Vai Se Quiser," and "Quem Ri Melhor." In 1940, after the composer's death, she released her classic "Silêncio de Um Minuto." Possessing a characteristic deep timbre and a resourceful composer herself, she dedicated herself to promoting Noel Rosa's work. (Wikipedia)
