Vanusa R.I.P.

Singer-songwriter Vanusa has died at the age of 73. Studied in guitar, Vanusa performed with the Golden Lions early in her career. She became a pioneering figure in the "Jovem Guarda" arts movement, in particular the musical wing which popularised the style known as "iê-iê-iê" in Brazil (named in reference to France's "yé-yé" pop movement). She was also a dedicated political activist and human rights campaigner.
