Rita Lee

Rita Lee isn’t just a musician; she is a trailblazer, a rebel, and the undisputed Queen of Brazilian Rock. Bursting onto the scene with Os Mutantes in the late ‘60s, Rita helped shake up Brazil’s music world as part of the Tropicália movement. Mixing rock, psychedelia, and Brazilian grooves, her work with the band was as revolutionary as it was unforgettable.

But Rita didn’t stop there. In the ’70s, she struck out on her own and became a powerhouse solo artist. Her music – a funky, sensual, and unapologetically fun blend of rock, pop, and Brazilian rhythms – gave us hits like “Lança Perfume” and “Mania de Você.” Her lyrics were witty and bold, often exploring love, freedom, and what it means to be unapologetically yourself.

Rita’s energy was contagious, her sense of humor sharp, and her style uniquely hers. Whether she was championing women’s rights or breaking musical boundaries, Rita Lee stayed true to her wild, creative spirit. With over 55 million albums sold and a legacy that still inspires, she remains a beloved icon – the kind of artist who left an indelible mark on music and on anyone lucky enough to hear her songs.
