Born in Belém do Pará, Brazil, Jane Duboc Vaquer is used to singing. At thirteen she participated in philanthropic shows at school, on television and at festivals. In Belém Jane formed a group named "Ilusão" ("Illusion") and during the time she lived in Natal, she formed a group called "Quartet of the Tri," the name being due to the fact that all members of the group had been three times champions in sports and to the fact that the group itself imitated another Brazilian group called "Quarteto em Cy" . Jane Duboc used to take part in many sports events such as swimming, volley ball, tennis and table tennis, winning several medals in local competitions. Due to her qualities as sports-person, the "Assembléia Legistativa" of Belém created the Jane Duboc Vaquer Award in order to incentive all sports people in Belém.
At seventeen Jane Duboc was granted a scholarship for the Columbus University. She then moved to Georgia, USA, where she lived for six years. She got married to the musician Jay Anthony Vaquer and had a son called Jay Vaquer, who is currently investing in his career as singer and actor. In the United States, besides acting as singer (she used to sing in bars, night clubs and churches), composer and musician Jane Duboc worked in Advertising. She received an award and starred a TV commercial. At college she not only studied orchestration, lyric singing, flute and dramatic arts, but also taught History of Music.
She returned to Brazil in the 70s. Then formed the "Fein Jazz Band", a group that performed only songs in English. She recorded a single ("Pollution") produced by Raul Seixas. The lyrics of the song were considered subversive at that time and therefore censored, so she recorded the song humming rather than singing. Jane also worked with Raul Seixas and participated in his albums. She was a singer in Erlon Chaves' "Banda Veneno" and was also part of Rede Globo's choir, recording several opening songs for programs and participated in one of Chico Anysio's albums (named "Linguinha"). With her former American husband Jay Anthony Vaquer she recorded the album "The Morning Of The Musicians" for RCA, featuring Luiz Eça, Paulo Moura, Noveli and Bill French.
In the 70s she also went on tour with Egberto Gismonti around Brazil with the shows "Água e Vinho I e II" ("Water and Wine - Volumes I and II"), participating in his CD "Árvore" ("Tree") as backing vocal and also percussionist. She took part in the "VI Festival Internacional da Canção (FIC)" (an international song festival) performing Sérgio Sampaio's song "No ano 83" ("In 83".) She also participated in the soundtrack of the movie "Janaina" (starring Marlene França) and also the play "Encontro no Bar" ("Meeting at the bar", starring Camila Amado and Otávio Augusto). She recorded the album "Acalantos Brasileiros" ("Brazilian lullabies") for Marcus Pereira Records and took part in the series "Música Popular do Norte" ("Popular Music from the North") singing regional folklore songs. That series also featured Elis Regina ("Música Popular do Sudeste") and Nara Leão ("Música Popular do Nordeste.") She also composed and recorded with Guto Graça Melo the main song of Bruno Barreto's movie "Amor Bandido." ("Bandit love")
Jane Duboc was part of "Zurama Jingles", recording commercials for the companies of Ivan Lins, Eduardo Souto Neto, Tavito and Paulo Sérgio Valle (she sang in Soletur Turismo's commercial, broadcasted nationwide.) She was also a member of Marcus Spillman's "Rio Jazz Orchestra" performing music by Duke Ellington and other Jazz musicians. She also featured recordings by groups such as "Os Motokas" and "Os Skates". She also sang with Claudinha Telles and the Group Roupa Nova (formerly known as "Os Famks"). Together they made covers and imitated other singers, such as Alcione.
She also worked a lot in the 80s. She participated in Rede Globo de Televisão's festival called "MPB 80" performing the hit "Saudade". She signed a contract with Som Livre and released the single "Cheiro de Amor" (which was also recorded by Maria Bethania and became a hit).
At Som Livre she was a member of the group called "Cantamor", recording two albums. She participated in many of Rede Globo's TV Specials (Roberto Carlos, Fábio Jr., Pirlimpimpim, Arca de Noé-2, Verde Que Te Quero Ver, among others). In 1982 she participated in another festival ("MPB-Shell") performing the hit "Tentação" (by Tunai e Sérgio Natureza).
Jane's most enthusiastic fans and the Official Fan Club "Minas em Mim" have already managed cataloguing more than 100 albums in which Jane Duboc participated. The list includes albums from artists like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Hermeto Pascoal, Roberto Sion, Sarah Vaughan and range from albums, soundtracks and recordings for children to English courses. It was not an easy task, considering that in many of those records, the credits go to "Jane", "Jane Vaquer" , "Jane Duboc Vaquer" or there is simply no credit at all.
Still in the 80s Duboc went on tour around Brazil in shows with Filó, Hélio Delmiro, Tunai, Aécio Flavio, Peri Ribeiro, Márcio Montarroyos, Toninho Horta and Miucha, among others.
With Toquinho she went on tour not only around Brazil with the show named "Doce Vida" (she was praised by Elis Regina), but also around Italy, where she recorded an album in Milan.
Success and national acknowledgement came with her romantic phase when she recorded the songs "Chama da Paixão" and "Sonhos" back in 1987. Both songs were extensively played on the radio and she had appearances in several TV programs. Such success led to her participation in four soundtracks of Brazilian soup operas, featuring the song "Besame" (by Flávio Venturini and Murilo Antunes) in the soap opera "Vale Tudo."
Few people know Jane's skills as a writer. She is the author of the following books: "Através de Paredes" (poems), "Jeguelhinho" and "Bia e Buze" (for children). The books for children also became musical plays. Unfortunately the albums with the songs for children have not come out due to lack of sponsorship. However, the books were released by CEJUPE, a publishing company from Pará.
Due to her musical background acquired in the United States, Duboc signed a contract with José Maurício Machline to stage the show named "Movie Melodies", which featured classic movie themes - all sung in English. The show was such a success that the Movie Play Record Company decided to release a CD with the soundtrack of the show. That CD is certainly one of the most beautiful ones of Jane's career. The show has acquired the status of cult and she is already thinking about a sequel.
Minas Gerais: Jane's identification with that state comes from a long way back. She recorded the song "Manuel, O Audaz" (by the composers from Minas Gerais Toninho Horta and Fernando Brant) in her first solo album in 1980 named "Languidez." The title of the song is because of a jeep she had, nicknamed Manuel, reminding her of the time when she and her mom used to drive around Natal at the time Jane was on tour there.
In 1988 as a gesture of love and affection for composers and her fans from Minas Gerais, she composed and recorded "Minas em Mim" (an album which features mostly songs by composers from Minas Gerais). That album became a TV special broadcasted by Rede Bandeirantes. In 1995 Minas Gerais was honored by Duboc once more: the CD named "Partituras," showing the world that no one else knows how to portrait Minas Gerais through songs (and perform them) like her.
Another feature in her career is the CD "Brasiliano" in which she sings Italian classics in Bossa Nova style. Unfortunately Globo Records released the CD only in Italy.
Another of her greatest moments was the CD "Paraíso", recorded with the late sax player Gerry Mulligan, one of the most respectful Jazz players in the world. As Jane says, it was a musical romance that started back at the time when she was on tour with Toquinho around Italy. The CD "Paraíso" shows outstanding quality and was even released in Japan. By the way, the City Hall of the Japanese city of Gifu, invited Jane Duboc and Roberto Sion to create the CD "From Brazil To Japan" and to make some shows there. Her voice was very successful in Japan, particularly when she sang Milton Nascimento's "Canção do Sal". The song was included in Marco Bosco's CD (with special participation by Jane Duboc, of course) and it was played quite a lot on Japanese radio stations, making the Japanese people sing in Portuguese.
In recent years Duboc has been investing in Advertising, using her beautiful voice in commercials all over Brazil: Riachuelo Department Store, Carrefour, Soletur Turismo, Impulse Deodorant, Eristof Vodka, Brahma Beer, Banco do Brasil, Nabisco Biscuits, Sufflair Chocolates and many others.
That is what Jane enjoys doing: working. She has been entrepreneur for six year. With her partner Paulo Amorim, Jane Duboc opened JAM Music - a record company in Barra da Tijuca - Rio de Janeiro.
In 2002 she was invited by Maestro Nelson Ayres to sing with Edu Lobo and the Israel Philarmonic Orchestra (conducted by Zubin Mehta), one of the five best symphonic orchestras in the world. The show took place in Israel.
It was also in 2002 that Duboc celebrated her 30 years of career. The CD "Sweet Lady Jane" (JAM Records, 2002) was mastered in New York and produced by Ivan Lins, being praised by the critics and considered one of her best CDs. There were shows in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Brasília in order to promote the release of the CD. She was accompanied by an orchestra with 30 musicians e and special guests such as maestro Nelson Ayres. Duboc also made a VCD (approximately 15 minutes) with photos of her career, from her childhood to the period of "Sweet Lady Jane."
In 2003 as part of her celebration of 30 years of her career, she made one of her dreams come true: she released her first solo album ("Languidez" - 1980) on CD through JAM Music, her recording company. The album features a wide range of outstanding Brazilian musicians such as Djavan, Toninho Horta, Oswaldo Montenegro, Márcio Montarroyos, Hélio Delmiro, Luiz Avelar, Sivuca. Among the songs are "Que Outro Dia Amanheça", "Manuel, O Audaz" and "Saudade." In October 2003 Duboc was invited by the awarded maestro Marcelo Ramos of the Symphonic Orchestra of Minas Gerais to make a symphonic spectacle to celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the composer Ary Barroso, also born in Minas Gerais. That was the first time that a symphonic orchestra made such tribute. The show was recorded and became a TV special.
It was also in 2003 that the record company "EMI Music South East Asia" included her as a representative of Brazilian singers to be part of the CD "Pink - Champagne", a collection that features worldwide famous singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughan, Liza Minnelli, Edith Piaf, Nina Simone, Judy Garland, among others.
In 2004 the record company "Universal Music Polska" released the CD "Rendez-Vous On The Jazz Boulevard" - Vol. 2 in Bulgary. The CD is a collection that includes Jane Duboc among worldwide stars such as Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Josefine Cronholm, Patricia Kass, Roberta Flack, Laura Fygi and Julie London.
Rede Globo de Televisão through the program "Ação" gave Duboc and Celso Viáfora the award "Ação 5 Anos" acknowledging the work being done at Barracão dos Sonhos in Paraisópolis, one of the inner cities in São Paulo.
In March 2005 Duboc was invited by Ricardo Queiroz to sing with Wagner Tiso and Victor Biglione in the annual Latin Music Festival in Vantaa, Finnland. The show was also exhibited in Brazil and it was very applauded. In August 2005 Jane Duboc released the CD called "Glow" (Argus Records), which included six songs in English composed by Jane and never recorded before, featuring the marvellous song "Spend the night". She also made a version in English for the song "Chama da Paixão", a great hit all over Brazil and now released in Japan. Her next project is the new CD "Minas in blues" in honor of Minas Gerais and the DVD "Dear Ella" in honor of Ella Fitzgerald.- Actor

He left his hometown as a child, coming to the southeast, where, as a young adult, he had plans to become a diplomat by pursuing a law degree at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), during which period he also participated in amateur theater. in 1947, close to his graduation, he signed up for an audition for the role of 'Hamlet' and, despite many hopefuls, he was selected for the part. On January 6, 1948, at the age of 22, he debuted on stage, to great success. After only three weeks' work as a lawyer, Cardoso opted for the arts, starting one of the greatest careers in 20th century Brazilian theater history.
In 1949 he created, together with his fellow actors from his amateur days, the 'Teatro dos Doze', a theater company that would stage great classics, such as Carlo Goldoni's "Harlequin Servant of two Masters" (Il servitore di due padroni, 1745). In the same year, he joins another group, the 'Teatro Brasileiro de Comédia (TBC)', in São Paulo, where he achieves a new triumph in Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit" (Huis Clos, 1944).
in 1954, together with his wife, they founded the 'Nydia Licia-Sérgio Cardoso Company', presenting a national repertoire such as Rachel de Queiroz's "Lampião" (1953), and Ernani Fornari's "Sinhá Moça Chorou" (1941). The couple also buys the old 'Espéria' Cinema, which would be the company's headquarters. To refurbish the building, Cardoso agrees to appear in the new and incipient medium of television. In 1956, the brand-new stage is inaugurated as 'Teatro Bela Vista', (nowadays, the 'Sérgio Cardoso Theater'), with William Shakespeare's "Hamlet".
Starting in 1964, he appears on Tupi TV's telenovelas, playing heartthrob leading roles to great viewership approval, culminating with his performance on Antônio Maria (1968). In 1969, he moves Globo TV, where he would appear in his only performance shot in color (Meu Primeiro Baile (1972)). Later, on O Primeiro Amor (1972), after 200 episodes already produced, he died unexpectedly, prompting a special appearance of the whole cast, after his last recorded scene aired, with an emotional farewell message and introducing the new actor, who would play Cardoso's role for the remaining 28 episodes.
His death created great commotion in Brazil, and approximately twenty thousand people attended his funeral at São João Batista Cemetery in Rio de Janeiro.- Caroline Ribeiro was born on 20 September 1979 in Belém, Pará, Brazil.

Gaby Amarantos was born on 1 August 1978 in Belém, Pará, Brazil. She is an actress and composer, known for Serial Kelly (2022), Cabras da Peste (2021) and Além da Ilusão (2022).- Helio Gracie was born to Gastao Gracie and Cesalina Gracie in Belem do Para, Brazil in . The family had eight children, with five boys and three girls. Helio was the youngest boy, and distinctive for being slim and tall, while the rest were shorter and muscular. As a child, Helio was frail, and forbidden from participating in sports because he would get dizzy from running or going up some stairs. After completing the second grade he convinced his mother to stop sending him to school, attributing it to his condition. When the Gracie family met with a precarious financial situation, they moved from Belem do Para to Rio de Janiero.Helio's oldest brother, Carlos Gracie, opened a Jujutsu academy in Rio de Janeiro in 1925. Carlos was taught Jujutsu, a martial art of Japanese origin, by Mitsuyo Maeda. A Japanese immigrant, Maeda gained a job with the help of Gracie's father, Gastao, in 1914. Carlos would bring brothers Oswaldo, Gastao, Helio, and George to help him operate the school.
Under the guidance of a protective Carlos, who was a trained doctor, Helio's health improved from "The Gracie Diet". The diet consisted of vegetables, raw foods, and consumption of combinations of foods at a set time. Helio understood Jujutsu from observing Carlos instructing in the gym. Once, Carlos was late for an appointment with a student and Helio, aged 16, taught the student. When Carlos arrived, the student requested to work with Helio thereafter, and Carlos agreed. Carlos learned that Helio was secretly sparring in Jujutsu and was adept at it, later becoming his main student. Due to his slim build and weaker disposition, Helio modified Carlos' Jujutsu techniques to make them easier to use, and that was the start of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a ground-based art which emphasized technique over power, with a philosophy of enabling its practitioner, despite size, to overcome larger opponents. BJJ was later called Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to prevent confusion with Japanese Jiu-Jitsu.
To spread the knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and prove its efficacy, Carlos Gracie and Hello Gracie would make challenges to opponents in other fight forms, creating the Gracie Challenge. There is a legend that Carlos and Hello once came home to find a robber. They challenged the robber to fight or go to jail. Supposedly the robber, after choosing to fight, shouted for jail after being beaten. Helio once got in trouble for attacking a well-known detractor, Manoel Rufino dos Santos. The man accused the Gracies of winning fights that were fixed. Helio broke his ribs and arms, resulting in a two-and-a-half year jail sentence being imposed. Brazil's President Getulio Vargas, whom liked Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, pardoned him. In his first purported ring bout in 1932, Gracie quickly defeated boxer Antonio Portugal by arm-bar. To refute an article about the supremacy of boxing, Gracie challenged boxers Ezzard Charles, Primo Carnera, and he offered another boxer, Joe Louis, $16,000 to fight him. Gracie also proposed fighting five boxers in the same night. He fought American wrestler Fred Ebert and Wladek Zbyszko which ended in draws.
With the family's growing reputation, one group in particular challenged the Gracies by wanting Japanese fighter Masahiko Kimura to come to Brazil. Helio was eager to fight Kimura, but Kimura was hesitant because he weighed much more and felt the older and smaller man was not on his level. Helio would have to fight two of Kimura's protégés first. An injured Helio fought Kado to a draw. In the rematch, Helio choked Kado unconscious within six minutes. Kimura's other student, Yamaguchi, declined to fight, so Kimura accepted Gracie's challenge. At "The World Championship of Jiu-jitsu" on October 23, 1951, they fought for thirteen minutes at Brazil's Maracana Stadium. A worried Carlos Gracie had agreed to allow Helio to fight Kimura after making him promise to give up the bout if his health was at risk.Kimura snapped Helio's arm and he refused to submit. Carlos threw in a towel and Kimura won. Helio would later say that he was briefly unconscious when Kimura had applied a choke earlier.On May 24, 1957, Hello fought a former student named Waldemar Santana. They fought for three hours and forty minutes at the Brazilian headquarters of YMCA. The fight ended when Santana slammed Gracie to the ground and knocked him out with kicks to his head. Helio Gracie continued studying and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for rest of his life. Rorion Gracie credits him for producing the popular TV show "Vale Tudo on TV". Per 'Relson Gracie,' Helio also produced "Herois do Ringue" ("Heroes of the Ring"). In 1967, Gracie helped established the Federation of Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil, which organized jiu-jitsu competitions. Gracie left the organization out a feeling that the Jiu-Jitsu taught focused on sports instead of real life self-defense scenarios. During UFC 1: The Beginning (1993), Helio Gracie was honored as the first Ultimate Fighter. He had nine children: Rorion Gracie, Relson Gracie, Rickson Gracie, Rolker Gracie, Royler Gracie, Royce Gracie, Rherika Gracie, Robin Gracie, and Ricci Gracie. - Composer
