Elisete
Elisete - Singer, composer and song writer, released her first album 'Luar e Cafe' (Moonlight & Coffee) in April 2004 and the second album 'Gaagua' (Longing) in March 2006.
'Gaagua' (Longing) - The second album
The album resembles Elisete: An almost impossible mix of simple words that touch deep in your sole with Brazilian rhythms and melodies that just make you dance. In Gaagua Elisete goes beyond song and lyrics writing and singing and she is actively involved in all the production stages including the arrangements.
'Luar e Cafe' (Moon light & coffee) - The first album
The album is the summary of a year of intensive work trying to portrait through music her life in Israel and in Brazil. The album was recieved with enthusiasm and got excellent reviews. The songs are played in numerous radio stations and video clips of various songs are shown in the Israeli music channel (Channel 24).
The shows
Elisete tours Israel with her band in a unique show sweeping the audiences of their feet. In her show Elisete blends her original Hebrew songs with the Brazilian classics in Portuguese. The band comprises 5 talented musicians that also contribute from their talent to the musical arrangements.
Other projects
In addition to her show Elisete performs with the Jazz guitarist Uri Bracha in a Brazilian Jazz show, with Alon Ochana in an electronic music project named 'Alef 3' and she initiates other projects. Elisete also collaborates with other Israeli artists from different fields of music: Idan Raichel in his new project, Si Haiman, Bezalel Aloni and others.
The story in short
Elisete was born in Brazil and came to Israel in 1991 directly to the Gulf war that was the background for the period when she aquired her Hebrew. Her life story is a long Saga with optimistic conclusions. Elisete says she sings to bring joy to the Israeli people. Cynics reading this declaration will laugh. Cynics hearing her say it will be engulfed by her magic and believe it. With this drive and with her energy and joy Elisete sings about life in the most Israeli perspective and also the most Brazilian one. The lines of Elisete have warmth, simplicity and a lot of love. Her voice and rythm take us to her unique Brazil that is always in her heart.
Gaagua (Longing) - The new CD
Elisete's second album 'Gaagua' is now released to the stores!
Elisete named the album 'Gaagua' (Longing) because although she loves being an Israeli she is longing for the Brazil she left behind - The children on roof tops flying kites with the Brazilian colors and all her childhood memories.
Using the colors she brought from Brazil Elisete portraits our reality through her songs.
The songs resemble Elisete: An almost impossible mix of simple words that touch deep in your soul with Brazilian rhythms and melodies that just make you dance.
Elisete's optimism and huge smile echoes through the entire album making it easy to get carried away by her songs into the sunny Brazil she carries in her heart.
The album is dedicated to the late Ehud Manor, one of Israel's greatest song writers that has supported Elisete along the way.
In Gaagua Elisete goes beyond singing and writing the songs and lyrics and she is actively involved in all the production stages including the arrangements.
The album is distributed (In Israel) by IMP Records.
Elisete's first CD - 'Luar e Cafe' (Moon and Coffee) was released in March 2004.
The CD holds 15 original songs written by Elisete (Lyrics and melody).
The album summarizes a year of intensive work trying to portrait through music her life in Brazil and in Israel. The album received many enthusiastic reviews and in addition to hearing the songs on many radio stations you can also see video clips of the songs Capoeira and Tipat Osher (A little happiness)on TV Channel 24 (The Israeli music channel).
After her two successful albums released in Israel: 'Luar e Cafe' and 'Gaagua', Elisete is returning with a new album of remixes: 'Elisete - Remixes'. The album includes old and also new songs that got a remix version.
Elisete: "This album was inspired by my audience and fans. Many of them requested to hear my songs also in an electronic version. Now, all those that liked my albums, in Israel as well as abroad, can enjoy them in clubs as well."
Electronic music is not unfamiliar to Elisete. Significant traces of it can be found in her previous albums. After the release of 'Gaagua' and after two of her songs were included in the Israeli movie 'Ha bua' (The Bubble), it was only natural for Elisete to accept the proposals of many producers and DJs in Israel to remix her songs. The production of this CD was made by Elisete and other prominent Israeli producers. The new album contains mostly her songs in Portuguese.

I thought that I would sent you a hello note. Sending you this poem today. I hope you like it.......
The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of Heaven mix forever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not Be my friend? -
See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What is all this sweet work worth If thou friendship not me?
I know you don't know me, but you add me as your friend, and I'm honored to be one of your friends. My name is Kyle Elliott, 22 years old, 5' 10", 205lbs, green eyes and a mixture of French and African American spices. I'm part of the newest singing group from the the family of Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and Smokey Robinson. It's the first time that the family has put together a all boys singing group. And I hope we won't let you down. All I want to do is be one of your friends , if you don't mind, if I could send you a poem now and then, write about the things that happen to me in this crazy music business. Or just keep in touch to see how you're doing in life.
I just finished college and join together with my brothers Shermaine Jaqu'el and Frederick and my god brother Jason (DNA). We gave up our friends, family and life for the family. I guess you can say we sold our souls (smile). And the song "Walk like A Model" is just for you .
