Clara Francisca Nunes Pinheiro (1943-1983) was a samba musician who had
worked in a factory in her teens. Her first album, in 1965, had a mix of
boleros and sambas. In the 1970s she became known as a samba singer and in
1974 had a hit with the song Conto de Areia. Her rhythms were also inspired
by her religion, Candomblé.[LINK:

In 1975 she toured Europe and by the 1980s she was hailed as one of the
top three "Samba Queens." She scored a hit in 1980 with Morena de Angola,
which Chico Buarque wrote for her. In 1983 she died from a surgery to
correct varicose veins, which led to mourning across
Brazil.http://www.7digital.com/stores/ArtistBiography.aspx?shop=122&masterartist=19415
