Mona Gadêlha's was born in Ceará (A state in the Northeast of Brazil). Mona is an urban, cosmopolitan artist that reaches beyond boundaries. Perhaps this explains her earlier involvement with rock music in the mid-70s in
Fortaleza (capital of Ceará state). Mona had her debut at the First Rock Festival of Ceará in 1974, she was the only female performer at the event and right away became the muse of Ceará rock music. In 1979 she was featured in the
Massafeira collection, a double album featuring 20 artists that brought together two generations of Ceará musicians. The single, "Cor de Sonho", had the participation of well-known and widely respected musicians Robertinho do
Recife (guitar) and Túlio Mourão (piano). This track became a hit on local radio stations in her native
Fortaleza. Mona also successfully pursued a bachelor's degree in Social Communication Science at the
Federal University in Ceará. Meanwhile, she was featured in several collections and performed in many shows. One of these shows, entitled Emoções Perigosas, was staged all over the Northeast in `84, with successful reviews and billings. Ten years after arriving in
São Paulo, Mona has finally made it to her solo album by Movieplay. The long wait was worthwhile.
