revista 'EU CANTO'

Journalist Jeanette Adib used to work for 'Revista do Radio' and its off-shoot 'Vamos Cantar'. In mid-1957, owner-director Anselmo Domingos asked Miss Adib to prepare a special issue of 'Vamos Cantar' featuring rock'n'roll lyrics only. They were surprised to realize the rock-lyrics-issue sold out in a few days throughout the country.

Miss Adib who had been in the music reporting business since the late 1940s - having also written for 'Jornal das Moças' - thought it was the right time to launch a lyrics-magazine giving emphasis to the new rhythm and that's how 'Eu canto' came to be in 1958.

The interprise must have been successful because in May 1960 Jeanette Adib launched 'Revista do Rock' that catered for teen-agers & teeny-boppers only. Here are some issues of 'Eu canto' we could get hold of:
