With the relaunching of the original album, musicians began creating tributes and later released compilations with unreleased material from CDs.

Miriam Batucada was born on 28 December 1946, in the neighborhood of Mooca in São Paulo, with which she would be identified with later on in her career, due to her form of speech being typical for people of Italian background in the region.

She became famous for being what many considered to be a "show-woman" at the time: doing imitations, telling "stories" and jokes, and singing and playing musical instruments.

There, she released a duo CD with Odeon Records, including "Linguajar do Morro"; "Depois do Carnaval"; "Puro Amor"; and "Dois Meninos".

As such, when Seixas and his friend Sérgio Sampaio sought to bring people together for an innovative project in the Brazilian music industry, a concept album in the vein of Sgt.

by The Mothers of Invention; and Tropicalia ou Panis et Circencis, by Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Nara Leão, Os Mutantes and Tom Zé, Edy was the first to be called.

The album was well received by music critics associated with the Brazilian counterculture movement at the time, such as Torquato Neto, in his column in Última Hora, and philosopher Luiz Carlos Maciel [pt], who wrote for O Pasquim.

This garnered publicity and interviews for the group and cartoon caricatures by Henfil before Miriam's musical career was cut short by a unilateral decision made by the record label president, Evandro Ribeiro, to take the album off the shelves two months after its release.

Record sales are difficult to estimate due to her short career, but some of her songs came to be played on radio and received attention among the people of Rio de Janeiro involved with the counterculture.

The following year, Miriam moved to the record label GEL, releasing the album Chantecler, with songs such as "Decisão", her own composition, and "Polichinelo", by Gadé and Almanir Grego.

[5] The same year, she participated on the show Samba, Coisa e Tal by Haroldo Costa, along with Grande Otelo, which became a critical and public success.

The album contained samba recordings from lesser known composers, with a special mention towards her musical partnership with Marcix, Roger Borin and Vivi Fagiolli in "Salve Rainha", a tribute to Chico Mendes who had been assassinated several years prior.

[4] As a result, many artists have given tribute to her in shows and in rerecordings[8] and even a biography by journalist and historian Ricardo Santhiago being in production, though with no set date for release.

[11] In 2023, a tribute of Miriam was made by the theatre group Os Geraldos in "Ubu Rei", directed by Gabriel Vilella.
