Hi Brian,
Where can I find backtrax of Maria’s songs. I would really liked to sing her songs.
Thanks
hi Lino. if possible i liked find pic and images from Maria, i trying on the web but i can’t find it. I hear Maria fist time in 1973, on LP Premier Mundial 2001, in Brazil, track “I’m on Fire” I think her voice very similar with Suzy Quatro, maybe better. I liked show this great singer in Brazil (excuse me my bad english).
thanks brian. if possible, i liked find photos or images from Maria, and discs covers too. there’s no much informations about her, i trying on the web but can’t find it. she was very good singer and i liked show her in Brazil.
Maria was from Mozambique then moved to South Africa. She passed away at a young age from cancer.
