Upa Neguinho

Lobo wrote the music and Guarnieri the lyrics for Arena conta Zumbi, directed by Boal, where per a search summary of a UERJ paper it was first titled "Upa negrinho". The Cravo Albin dictionary says it was composed in 1964 and 1965 for the show and later became a great success in Elis Regina's interpretation, while Portal Vermelho dates it to 1966 and calls it the big hit of the score; the two dates conflict. The UERJ paper, whose title translates as From the Arena to the Olympia, traces how Elis reinterpreted it until the end of her career. A reseller description says Lobo also recorded it with Maria Bethania on Edu & Bethania in 1966, which we could not verify. We could not establish a recording date, studio, personnel, chart history, video, covers list or setlist count, or which version our upload is.
