<\/p>\n

Elis Regina recorded several of his songs, most notably “O b\u00eabado e a equilibrista”. Another song of his is “Resposta ao tempo” (with lyrics by Cristov\u00e3o Bastos), a ballad that became one of Nana Caymmi’s most famous songs, and which was recorded by many other musicians thereafter, amongst them Milton Nascimento and Aldir Blanc himself.\n<\/p>\n

Blanc’s work 1972\u20131987 was analyzed by Charles A. Perrone in Masters of Contemporary Brazilian Song MPB 1965\u20131985 (U Texas P, 1989).\n<\/p>\n
