 laudette
Soares started her career at the age of ten in the radio
program conducted by Renato Murce known as “Papel Carbono”.
Her musical path shows someone who was never attached to songs
of a certain period and someone who always had good taste.
Claudette´s unique style went through different stages: from
the time of protest with songs that were presented in
festivals (when she launched the composer called Gonzaguinha
during the II University Festival of the Brazilian Music in
Rio de Janeiro, with the song “Mundo Novo, Vida Nova” (New
World, New Life); she also went through the period of Bossa
Nova and the romantic era of the Brazilian Popular Music
(MPB).
Chosen by Ronaldo Bôscoli, she took part in the biggest
Bossa Nova event of all times called The Night of the Smile,
Love and Flower on May 20, 1960 in the old building of the
University of Architecture of Rio de Janeiro. She participated
in Bibi Ferreira´s show called “Brasil 60”as well, shown on TV
Excelsior(SP) and in the LP “New Generation in Samba Beat”.
Upon Ronaldo Bôscoli´s request she went to São Paulo in
the 60s so as to introduce and divulge Bossa Nova in night
clubs there.Some of these discos were Baiúca, Cambridge,”Ela,
Cravo e Canela” (inaugurated by her with the show called “Um
Show de Show”( A Hit of a Show” ), where she introduced
Pedrinho Mattar). At that time, Paulo Cotrim, a journalist,
opened the night club João Sebastião Bar especially for both
Claudette and Pedrinho Mattar.
