I am happy to be able to present Olivinha Carvalho for the first time on Parallel Realities, thanks to Pedro & 300discos who have included her LP from 1958 in the newest package which is transferred to my PC as I write.
Singer and actress Olivinha Carvalho was born in Rio from Portuguese parents (her father was a radio singer and her mother a radio actress), so she inherited both talents and had a successful career as a singer as well as an actress.

01. Lar Português (Jaime Santos / Maria Nelson)
02. Estrela da Minha Vida (Alves Coelho Filho)
