To call Rita Lee Jones de Carvalho (1947–2023) simply a "singer" is like calling the Amazon a "stream." She was the high priestess of Brazilian rock, a shapeshifter, a satirist, and a survivor. Her discography is not just a collection of albums; it is a 50-year sonic diary of Brazilian counterculture, from psychedelic freak-outs to futuristic pop and bossa nova lullabies.
