Carrera artística

Nascuda a l'estat de Paraíba, regió nord-est del Brasil, va traslladar-se l'any 1974 a Rio de Janeiro per donar una empenta a la seva carrera artística. A Rio va començar a cantar en locals nocturns i es va endinsar en el món del teatre i els musicals, amb un breu pas pel cinema. En aquella època coneixeria al seu gran amic Alceu Valença i començaria a treballar amb artistes reputats, com Marieta Severo, Chico Buarque, Maria Bethânia o Alcione.

L'any 1979 enregistraria el seu primer LP, Ave de prata. Produït per la CBS, l'àlbum va tenir la participació de noms destacats de la música brasilera: Dominguinhos, Zé Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, Sivuca i Jackson do Pandeiro. Mica a mica va fer-se un nom al país. Amb aquesta companyia llançaria dos treballs més, fins que va incorporar-se a Ariola. Guiada pel productor musicalMarco Mazzola, el 1982 va publicar el quart disc, Alegria, amb el que va obtenir el primer disc de platí. Artísticament, va decidir amagar el seu accent nordestí i donar un clima més festiu als seus concerts, allunyant-se de la imatge soferta que acompanyava molts dels seus conterranis. Els seus espectacles eren molt elogiats, ja que l'artista posava en pràctica tot el que havia aprés en els seus anys d'actriu teatral. El següent LP, Coração brasileiro (1983), va acabar d'enlairar la carrera d'Elba. La revista Veja va proclamar-la «la major estrella de la música brasilera» d'aquell any. L'àlbum Do jeito que
