Mel is a studio album by Brazilian singer Maria Bethânia, released in 1979.[3]
Critical reception
The New York Times praised the title track, writing that Bethânia "declaims the highly poetic, startlingly sexual words as if singing a national anthem, and yet the song remains sly and infectious."[4]
