The radio singers who staged films of Atlântida

Abstract

The productions made by Companhia Atlântida Cinematográfica placed several songs in musical number format. The presence of the radio singers in these musical numbers was determined by the public’s demands, who wished to know the radio idols, of whom they only knew the voice. This article deals with the transformation in the singers’ function to sing/actor and songs interpreted by them in Atlântida’s productions, during two decades.
