Discography
Ani Ha Carnaval
I am carnaval - the nineth album was released in 2022.
In 'I am Carnaval', Elisete returns to her Brazilian roots in a vibrant Israeli perspective.
The urge for a Carnaval album in Hebrew stemmed from her shows in homes for people with special needs. Elisete saw that her music in Brazilian rhythms reaches directly to the hearts of the residents - even those who are completely enclosed in their own world - and they respond wonderfully because the communication is direct, from heart to heart.
Elisete turned this direct communication along with her love for people and music into happy songs that her audience sings with her already at the first hearing.

Give love a chance
Give love a chance - the eighth album was released in 2021.
Give love a chance - That is all Elisete asks for: Give love a chance. So basic, so important, so easy. The love that Elisete offers, in fact, urges us to give and receive is a universal, selfless love. A love that contains within it all the other types - love for ourselves first and foremost, love for others, acceptance of the other, love for nature, animals and plants and especially for life wherever they are.
Elisete sees herself first as a human being, as a citizen of the world. She is an ambassador of love for others and nature because we are all one great soul. She believes that the values derived from love should be our guiding light so that we can progress to a happier and more positive world and she sings these values from the bottom of her heart in the hope that we will hear.

Inspired by the sun
Inspired by the sun (Be'ezrat hashemesh) - the seventh album was released in 2019.
The sun - Elisete enlists the sun on her way to happiness. Elisete wants to make us all smile and there's nothing like the sun to help with this mission. 'Inspired by the sun' - which is also the name of the theme song - is an enlightened journey to the realization that happiness is here - in front of us and within us.
Elisete feels that there is room for a frequency of hope and positivity. That happiness is not a luxury but a basic state to be aspired to and that all of us can be filled with positive energy. We can all get to this place and Elisete's songs are one of the fun ways to get there - anyone who joins Elisete's path will discover that life is bright, joyful and fun even in the heart of our local daily life and everyone is invited to a party!
The album 'Inspired by the sun' is a rhythmic, happy and essentially electronic album. In fact, it is the mirror image of the previous album 'Quiet' which was acoustic, minor and reflective. 'Inspired by the sun' deals with the healing of pain and acceptance of life through rhythm, light and joy. Elisete takes us in her caressing Brazilian way from the pain and sorrow straight to the sun and the Carnaval. She has no illusions about the nature of the world, she simply believes that it can be corrected through universal love, music and true joy.

Sheket
Quiet (Sheket) - the fifth acoustic album was released in 2016.
Quiet is what Elisete seeks in her fifth acoustic album, just quiet. To understand why that’s the album’s name here’s what Elisete thinks about music, soul and quiet:
“For me happiness reveals itself in quiet. Inner quiet, outer, quiet in a dream. I live here in Israel, in the turmoil of the middle-east. Around me the days roll polluted with noise, anger and violence and I seek quiet moments with a soothing Brazilian wind and a pure sound. My new album is my clear island of quiet – a distilled sound of guitar and my voice – an album I longed to create, waiting for the right time. I hope that this album created from the heart will get to all those tuned to a frequency of tranquillity and peace and will be an instrument for achieving inner as well as outer peace.”
The album Sheket is a unique encounter between Elisete’s soul that yearns for quiet with her soothing voice that wants to pronounce the hope for peace and tranquility and the magical sound of Ron Laor’s guitar.
Elisete feels she is a double cultural ambassador – of Israel and Brazil and also an ambassador of the universal desire for peace and love. That’s why the album is written both in Hebrew and Portuguese with one song in Russian. Half the songs are new and were written especially for guitar and voice and half were included in previous albums and were adapted to this album with new arrangements of guitar and voice.

Simply Elisete
Simply Elisete was released in 2014.
Dreaming about a shadowy afternoon in a picturesque town? A cruise and romantic dinner by the lake? A party in a dreamlike landscape? A magical night? Now you no longer have to travel far. At any moment of the day you can play the album ‘Simply Elisete' and let yourself drift with the sounds and the caressing voice of Elisete in Portuguese, Italian, English and Hebrew. The first songs are lyrical and cuddle you, half asleep as in a dream trip. 'Custe o que custar' grabs you by surprise and shakes you gently into the rhythm of a party to be followed by 'Another song fo Capoeira' that makes way for tenderness joy and optimism of traveling in the world with Elisete - Brazil, Italy, America and back to Floripa, Brazil.
Elisete's new album combines electronic and acoustic music and is the product of an inner journey Elisete set about to redefine her musical self. Elisete sees herself as an Israeli, Brazilian and citizen of the world, but mostly as a human being and therefore her songs are written in the variety of languages she speaks and in her characteristic blend of the exploration of love, sadness, and an optimistic view with the airy and amusing melodies emphasizing the emotional depth. Elisete thanks all the people who accompanied her on the way - Ron Laor, Avi Levin, Noa Tzur, Raz Burg that helped translate her thoughts into the sounds of the new album and Oriana Esposto that proofread the Italian texts.

My colors
My colors Elisete's third album was released in 2010.
Elisete - colorful, sensual, more Israeli than ever and Brazilian As always created an album with a variety of colors reflected in a melting pot of styles - pop, Afro – Brazilian, contemporary Israeli music and world music. In parallel to life in Israel Elisete is talking about the end of innocence, looks inside to the longing and pain, allows herself to free from the need to please at all costs and creates a work with unique colors. Elisete says she came to Israel to bring the Brazilian joy and in the album she expresses a range of emotions and sings honestly about love, happiness, relationships and separation, drugs and just about the joyful moments of life. The album was produced by Israeli - Brazilian producer Avi Levin in cooperation with Elisete, Ron Laor and Roni Ben - Ezra, it was recorded half in Brazil and half in Israel and reflects Elisete as she feels - half Israeli and half Brazilian. For this reason the album was written so that half of the songs are in Hebrew and half in Portuguese. The album is acoustic and contemporary, lyrical, melancholy sometimes and very romantic.

Gaagua
Gaagua (Longing) Elisete's second album was released in 2006.
Elisete called the album longing because although she feels completely Israeli she still has longing for the Brazil she left behind – the children on rooftops flying kites in the colors of Brazil and all of her childhood memories. Elisete uses the colors she brought from Brazil to draw our reality in her songs.
The songs reflect Elisete: an almost impossible blend of simple words that touch your soul directly with Brazilian rhythms that just make you dance. Elisete's optimism and her warm smile resonate throughout the album and allows you to be swept with the songs to the sunny Brazil she carries in her heart.
The album is dedicated to the late Ehud Manor that gave a hand to young independent artists and supported Elisete when she released her songs to the radio. In Longing Elisete goes a step beyond singing and writing lyrics and melodies, and is an active partner in all stages of production including involvement in writing the arrangements.
