Biography[]

Wanderléa Charlup Boere Salim was born on June 5, 1946 in Minas Gerais, Brazil, after her birth, the family moved to the city of Lavras, also in Minas Gerais. In 1955, they moved to the Ilha do Governador neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro.[4]

She became known in the late 50s singing on radios, in the early 60s she made her first Phonographic recordings, Rock and Roll recordings, and impressed by the way she sang.

In 1965, she was invited to present a program together with singers Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos, the famous Jovem Guarda program, which soon became the first youth movement in Brazil, influenced by the Beatles. Wanderléa was responsible for influencing fashion among girls from the 60s in Brazil, becoming the first Pop-star in the country.

Personal life[]

Wanderléa suffered many losses in her life. The first of these was when she was ten years old, when she despaired when she discovered that her older sister had been killed by a stray bullet. This fact forever shook the life of Wanderléa and her entire family.

At the beginning of her career, at age sixteen, she started dating Zé Renato, Chacrinha's son. In a few months of dating they became engaged. After seven years together, there was a tragedy: Zé had an accident and was paralyzed. Wanderléa went into serious depression and over time the relationship went into crisis because she didn't want to be a burden in her life. Despite having fought for him, she respected Zé's decision and separated from her fiancé.

After the separation, she dated some singers and songwriters at the time. She also had a short relationship with Roberto Carlos. Then she met Chilean guitarist Lalo Correia, better known as Lalo California. The two started dating and soon got married. In 1982, the couple's first child was born: Leonardo. In 1984 there was a tragedy: Leonardo drowned at the age of two. The boy was riding a tricycle and accidentally fell into the pool. He was rescued but did not survive. They two had two more daughters: Yasmin and Jadde. The two are less than two years apart and were born in the late 1980s.

She went through other losses, such as the death of her father, which left her very shaken and shortly after, in 1996, her brother died of HIV/AIDS which made her fall into depression, which shook her emotionally to the point that, according to her, it had caused her uterine cancer, having to have a hysterectomy. But she managed to regain her health and spirit and, in her own words, "if a problem arises I say: 'Let's see how we can solve it', and it doesn't change."

She is still married to Lalo, but the two live in separate houses, and the singer says she is very happy like that, as she realized that living together they didn't get along so well, and because the couple likes a freer relationship, they live together like two boyfriends.

She revealed in interviews that she was bothered by her fame, which brought her problems with time: for example, when passing in the street with their imported cars, humble people pointed her out in the streets, commenting: "here goes Wanderléa with her big car". This annoyed her, saying that she was once very poor and understands the suffering of the humble, but no one recognized this. Since the days of the Jovem Guarda, she has had the nickname Ternurinha, which at the beginning she didn't like very much, she even thought of launching a campaign to change it. But then she got used to it and ended up accepting. Another nickname she also received at the time of the Jovem Guarda was Wandeca.[5]
