Brazilian rock icon Rita Lee dies aged 75
Brazil’s president hails Lee, a singer central to the politically charged Tropicalia movement, as ‘ahead of her time’.
9 May 2023
Renowned Brazilian rock singer and songwriter Rita Lee, an icon of the Tropicalia artistic movement, has died after a two-year battle with lung cancer, her family said on Tuesday. She was 75.
“We announce the death of Rita Lee at her home in Sao Paulo late last night, surrounded by all the love of her family, as she always wanted,” a statement posted on the singer’s Instagram account said, inviting the public to her wake on Wednesday.
Her death brought an outpouring of tributes from artists, politicians and celebrities who cheered her trailblazing role in Brazilian rock.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called her “an artist ahead of her time” and “one of the greatest and most brilliant names in Brazilian music”.
Rita Lee Jones de Carvalho was born on December 31, 1947, in Sao Paulo, to a dentist of United States descent and a Brazilian pianist with Italian ancestry.
She was central to Brazil’s politically charged Tropicalia movement, which emerged in defiance of a military dictatorship starting in 1964, and her work at the time was often censored.
With more than 20 albums recorded and 55 million records sold, her songs touched on issues related to feminism and sex in an era when such issues were taboo.
Although she regarded her voice as “weak and a little out of tune”, like a sparrow’s, she enjoyed a long run of top-selling albums, including Rita Lee and Rita Lee & Roberto de Carvalho, and dozens of her songs were featured in widely watched telenovelas in Latin America.
The behemoth television network Globo used her rendition of the song Poison Weed (Poison Ivy) in three of its programmes.
“I was not born to get married and wash underwear. I wanted the same freedom as the boys who used to play in the street with their toy cars,” she told the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone in 2008.
“When I got into music, I realised that the ‘machos’ reigned absolute, even more in rock music. ‘Wow’, I said, ‘this is where I’m going to let my fangs out and, literally, give them a hard time.’”
Lee gained fame in the 1960s with the band Os Mutantes, formed with Arnaldo Baptista and Sergio Dias, playing alongside legends of Brazilian pop music such as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso to international acclaim.
Kicked out of Os Mutantes by Baptista, whom she had been married to, for supposed artistic differences, Lee played with the band Tutti Frutti in the 1970s.
That band broke up towards the end of the decade, leading Lee to start her solo career, and she played often with her husband Roberto de Carvalho, the father of her three children.
Eventually, her popularity extended beyond Brazil.
She performed in Portugal, England, Spain, France and Germany. In 1988, the British newspaper Daily Mirror revealed that then-Prince Charles admired her song Lanca Perfume and considered her his favourite singer.
She won a Latin Grammy in the Best Portuguese Language Album category in 2001, for her album, 3001.
Lee was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021 and had been undergoing treatment since then.

Maravilhosa Rita🌹
Ontem passei o dia segurando o choro por saber da sua partida e hoje eu tive a honra de sonhar contigo pela primeira vez na vida: Eu me despedia de ti e saía do cômodo onde estávamos -- você estava muito bem como antes de adoecer, feliz e brincalhona, com seus cabelos vermelhos -- e eu te via em todos os lugares daquela casa ao mesmo tempo, não entendia o motivo e te perguntava "ué, mas você estava ali..." e você me respondia com esse sorriso maravilhoso " é que agora eu faço parte do todo" e abria abria os braços, só então minha ficha caía de que você tinha morrido e eu começava a chorar, você me abraçava, sorrindo, e a sensação era maravilhosa, de acolhimento e felicidade plena, e me dizia que estava tudo bem, que você estava bem e não havia necessidade de chorar, fazia brincadeiras e palhaçadas pra eu sorrir.
Noutro sonho, também contigo, e ainda mais louco, por algum motivo, você era a "vovó Rita Lee" e não a cantora Rita Lee.
Em mim e em todos os fãs, amigos e familiares, ficarão a saudade, o amor, a admiração, o carinho e as lindas memórias das risadas, das palavras de quem falava o que queria. Você foi, é e sempre será maravilhosa e a verdadeira rainha do rock (ainda que você não goste desse título).
Ritinha, te amo. De um beijo em Renato, em Cazuza, em John, em Elis, Belchior, os Mamonas e em quem mais você encontrar, e por favor, diga a eles que estou com saudades e fazem falta, pois tudo que diziam continua muito atual e necessário.
Voe livre e alto, Ritinha, o infinito é seu!
( Uma Sonhadora )
