About the album

Elisete - I am CarnavalI 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.

Each song is a segment of life with a lot of love, humor and wisdom in rhythms that it is impossible not to dance.
'Brazil is here' is a love song for Israel and the Israelis. A song that tells affectionately about all that is good here.
'I am Carnaval' is a composition of a typical and joyful day in Elisete's colorful life.
'Happy song' is a precise instructions manual for a good life - all golden advice!
The album is for the entire family from granddaughters to grandmothers (and also grandchildren and grandparents..). Anyone can connect to the love for people and the positive attitude.
Elisette is colorful, stylish and joyful in her songs just as she is colorful and stylish in her shows or when she goes out on the street. She is a one woman Carnaval and she lives the message of the album because she really is Carnaval.
So come along with Elisete on this happy journey and each one can be Carnaval too!

"The album is dedicated to Akim and the special people I met at my shows in homes for people with special needs - the residents who taught me so much about love that requires no words and the wonderful and dedicated staff members who do sacred work."


I am Carnaval

Elisete - I am Carnaval

I am Carnaval - a new and autobiographical song - rhythmic and fun just like Elisete. Elisete feels that she came here to make the people of Israel happy and she simply lives this message every minute of the day.
I am Carnaval is not a metaphorical statement, it is more of an informative description of Elisete's life. It starts when she goes out on the street wearing colorful and stylish clothes, positive energy and lots of smiles.
She spreads joy in every moment of her everyday life with lots of love and in the 7 languages ​​she speaks. Each verse in the song is a different moment in the day and together a joyful mosaic that is Elisete is created.
For every person on the street she has a kind word and she leaves a trail of love for humanity and a great love for life. A journalist who interviewed her on Shinkin Street in Tel Aviv and saw her interacting like this with the environment simply crowned her the Queen of Shinkin.

Happy song

Happy song

Happy song is a musical operating manual that Elisete wrote to help us be happy. What's good about ‘Happy song’ is that in six verses and one catchy chorus Elisete gives a winning recipe for life. Every piece of advice is simple and easy to implement when you take it to heart. Since not everyone is acting positively continuously, it's good that a song like this comes along and gives us a reminder. To be happy and not angry, to face difficulties without despair, to be sober and not under influence of substances, to choose positivity, warmth and family, to choose our friends carefully, to accept each person as he/she is and to be at peace.
It is so typical of Elisete to take so many lessons for life, distill them and make us dance in the process. For Elisete, everyone is equal and everyone should be a part of life, so in the clip, Elisete shoots the clip in Jaffa as a symbol of coexistence and hosts Sima - an older woman (Elisete calls her Simush) who shows that dancing is possible and necessary at any age.
So take a break from the race and go dancing here in Israel because as Elisete says, 'a happy life has very clear rules'.

Brazil is here

Brazil is here

Brazil is here - Brazil used to be the Israelis' perfect holiday fantasy: sun, beaches, nature, beautiful people and lots of freedom, joy and music. We recently shut ourselves down in Israel and how fun it is that we have Elisete - both a Brazilian-Israeli singer and a sharp-eyed Israeli patriot that reminds us - Brazil is here!
There is a lot of good in Israel - freedom, sun, beautiful people, mutual help, wonderful nature, good music and a lot of joy. All that is needed is a musical reminder from Elisete: "My journey in this album is about the seam between Brazil and Israel and how connected they are in me. I feel that as I become more Israeli I also become more Brazilian at the same time. I wrote 'Brazil is here' about this paradox. The song was released together with a very entertaining music video with a variety of types and colorful characters, led by Shoshke of Zeev Engelmeier in the role of the girl from Ipanema. Hope you like it!"
So take a break from the race and go dancing here in Israel because as Elisete says - 'Brazil is here' in the best sense possible.
