Marília Dias Mendonça (Brazilian Portuguese: [maˈɾiljɐ mẽˈdõsɐ], 22 July 1995 – 5 November 2021) was a Brazilian singer and songwriter.

In 2015, she released her namesake debut EP; however, Mendonça only gained prominence after releasing her first eponymous live album in 2016, which received a triple platinum certificate for selling 240,000 copies. "Infiel", a song included in the album, became one of the most played songs in Brazil and received a triple diamond disc certificate, giving Mendonça national visibility.[1] Her second album Realidade, was released in 2017 and received a Latin Grammy nomination in the Best Sertaneja Music Album.[2] In 2019, she released the album Todos os Cantos, a project scripted with shows recorded by the singer in all capitals in the country.[3] The album earned her a triple platinum certification for the 240,000 copies sold and the Latin Grammy award in the Best Sertaneja Music Album.[4]

On 5 November 2021, Mendonça died at the age of 26 in an airplane crash in Piedade de Caratinga, Minas Gerais, where she was to perform a concert.[5]

Biography

Early life

Born in Cristianópolis and raised in Goiânia, Mendonça had her first contact with music through church and began composing when she was 12 years old, having started to write songs for various singers such as "Minha Herança" (João Neto & Frederico), "Muito Gelo, Pouco Whisky" (Wesley Safadão), "Até Você Voltar", "Cuida Bem Dela", "Flor e o Beija-Flor" (Henrique & Juliano), "Ser Humano ou um Anjo" (Matheus & Kauan), "Calma" (Jorge & Mateus) and "É Com Ela Que Eu Estou" (Cristiano Araújo).[6]

2011–16: Marília Mendonça

Mendonça launched her career as a singer in January 2014, through her first eponymous EP.[7] In June 2015, the song "Impasse" was released, the singer's first single which featured the participation of the duo Henrique & Juliano.[8] In March 2016, Mendonça released her first album entitled Marília Mendonça: Ao Vivo which featured as singles the songs "Sentimento Louco" and "Infiel" and the participation of duo Henrique & Juliano.[9] Infiel became the fifth most performed song on radio in Brazil that year, making the singer gain national recognition. In October, a live acoustic EP entitled Agora É Que São Elas was released with previous successful tracks and having as a single only with the song "Eu Sei de Cor".[10][11]

2017–2021: Realidade and Todos os Cantos

Mendonça in 2018

In January 2017, Mendonça released another eponymous EP with four new tracks.[12] In March, her second album was released entitled Realidade, which had singles such as "Amante Não Tem Lar" and "De Quem É A Culpa" and counted again with participation of the duo Henrique & Juliano.[13][14] In November, she released the single "Transplante" in partnership with duo Bruno & Marrone.[15][16] In July, Mendonça won the post of the most heard Brazilian artist on YouTube, ranking 13th in the world ranking.[17]

In February 2019, the first volume of the singer's third live album, entitled Todos os Cantos, was released; singles in this album included the songs "Ciumeira", "Bem Pior Que Eu", "Todo Mundo Vai Sofrer" and "Supera".[18][19] In March, Spotify announced that Mendonça occupied the first place in the TOP 10 of the most heard women in Brazil of the streaming service.[20] In May, the second volume of the album Todos os Cantos was released.[21] The third volume of the live album was released in August.[22] In 2019, the album won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Sertaneja Music Album.[23]

Personal life

In March 2015, Mendonça started dating the businessman Yugnir Ângelo, with whom she became engaged in December 2016. She ended the relationship in August 2017, stating she was too young for such a commitment.[24] After maintaining casual relationships, in May 2019 she revealed she had been in a serious relationship for five months with fellow singer and songwriter Murilo Huff. The couple got engaged and moved in together.[25][26] In June the same year, she confirmed that she was pregnant, giving birth to her son Léo, born eight weeks premature, on 16 December 2019, in Goiânia.[27]

During the break of her Side B live show, on the 8 August 2020, Mendonça mentioned a gay nightclub in Goiânia called Diesel, where one of her band's musicians had kissed "the most beautiful woman in his life", according to her. In addition, other members of the band chuckled and made unspoken comments, implying that the boy would have hooked up with a transsexual woman. The singer's comments had a negative impact on social networks and raised the hashtag #MaríliaTransfóbica on Twitter. On 10 August, Mendonça spoke on Twitter and admitted the mistake, where she apologized for the jokes and acknowledged that her mistake was unjustifiable.[28][29]

Death

On 5 November 2021, Mendonça embarked on an air taxi with four other people on board towards Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil, where she was expected to perform in a local concert. The plane crashed, killing Mendonça, her uncle (who was also her manager), her producer and two crew members. All five deaths were officially confirmed shortly after on a live coverage by TV Globo.[5][30][31] Her death attracted great attention of national and international media, and several artists mourned the tragedy and paid their respects on social media, such as Anitta, Luísa Sonza, Dulce María, Gal Costa, Roberta Miranda, Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, Pabllo Vittar, among others and from Manuel Abud, CEO of the Latin Recording Academy.[32][33]

After her death, Mendonça became the most listened to artist in global streamings with 28.6 million streams and 74 of her songs appeared in Spotify's TOP200 in Brazil.[34]

Funeral

With the exception of the pilot and co-pilot, the victims' bodies left the funeral home in Caratinga, at dawn on 6 November.[35] At morning, the bodies of Mendonça and Silveira arrived in Goiânia. An open casket service for them took place at Goiânia Arena in Goiânia later that day. Their private funeral was held at 9:00 am, restricted to family members; it later opened to the public at 1:00 pm, and fans were allowed to pay their respects. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people passed through the arena.[36] Funeral procession began at 5:30 pm, with the bodies being buried at Cemitério Parque Memorial in Goiânia.[37]

Legacy

Mendonça is recognized as the leader of the musical subgenre feminejosertanejo music by and for women — and her contribution to female empowerment. The singer revolutionized the sertanejo scene between the 2010s and 2020s. She was often called the queen of suffering, for her soulful, angst-filled ballads.[38][39]
