Wanderléa

Wanderléa was, after Roberto Carlos and together with Erasmo Carlos, one of the most important names connected with the live TV show Jovem Guarda (TV Record), having hosted the show with both of them. Her solo career had many albums, and she also worked in film, playing the main character in the movie Juventude e Ternura. She also hosted her own TV show, shared with Erasmo Carlos, Tremendão & Ternurinha. She began her artistic career at the age of ten, performing in the radio programs Mayrink Veiga and Tupi, and in the TV Rio (Rio de Janeiro RJ). In 1961, she was hired by Columbia (which became CBS), recording her first 78, "Meu Anjo da Guarda" (Rossini Pinto/Fernando César) and "Tell Me How Long," in January 1962. In the same year she contributed two tracks to the compilation As 14 Mais. In 1963 she recorded her first LP, Wanderléa. In 1964 she recorded the double single "Rei da Brotolândia" (Erasmo Carlos) and "Dê o Fora" (Roberto Carlos/Janete Adib) and two other songs. In the same year she recorded her second LP, Quero Você, which really launched her career. In 1965, the double single and Ternura were hugely successful, and she became known as "Ternurinha." That year, with Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos, she became the host of Jovem Guarda, which triggered the musical movement of the same name. In 1966 she acted in the film Abraça-me Forte, followed by the documentary Futebol, Samba, Mulher e Humor. In September 1966, she was patroness of the I Encontro Nacional da Jovem Guarda festival. In the eighth edition of the Prêmio Chico Viola (February 1967), she was honored with an award together with Roberto Carlos, Golden Boys, Ronnie Von, Deny e Dino, Os Vips, Erasmo Carlos, Chico Buarque, Nara Leão, Jair Rodrigues, Renato e seus Blue Caps, and Bobby de Carlo.
