Angel, as she also became known, launched herself as a singer in the 1990s.
The premiere of “Xuxa, the Documentary” on Globoplay, next Thursday, the 13th, will bring back some characters who were part of the history of Rainha dos Baixinhos. Of the Matos family, for example, it was not only Marilyn with whom the presenter lived at the height of her television career.
Angela Matos, the director’s sister, worked as a producer on her shows, launched herself as a backing singer and was a very close friend. After separating from Marilyn Matos, in 2002, the two also moved away, and Angel, as she was also known, lives away from the limelight, in Alto Paraiso, Goiás.
At her new address, in the Midwest of Brazil, Angela Matos is in charge of Projeto Semente Amarela and carries out work with pregnant women, after several courses, studies and specializations such as those she took in London as a perinatal educator, as stated in her curriculum on the website The project.
Angela Matos, a mother of three, now has a granddaughter, Sol, which she usually posts proudly on her Instagram profile.
From the time of television, only memories remain. In the early 1990s, she launched herself as a singer, even having songs on the charts and on the soundtracks of series. For example, “Patinho Feio” became the theme for Luciana Vendramini’s character in “Vamp”. Angel, the name he used at the time, had two albums released by the “Xuxa Discos” label. “In ‘Xou da Xuxa’, she said in an interview with Extra in 2013, “We were a big family and I had the opportunity to become a singer. Today, I only sing in the shower.”
Angela Matos was married to singer Ze Felipe, of the Yahoo band, who also appeared on Xuxa shows, with whom she was very close. So much so that the presenter is godmother to all her children. Today they no longer speak to each other.
