Revista do Radio, 22nd October 1955; These were the artists who voted for Juscelino Kubistchek: 

Oduvaldo Vianna, Nancy Wanderley, Matinhos, Francisco Bittencourt, Urbano Lóis, Domício Costa, Hamilton Ferreira, Dias Gomes, Lidia Matos, Carlos Frias, Moises Weltmann, Alberto Peres, Aerton Perlingeiro, Amelia Simone, Cícero Acaiaba, Ênio Santos, Norma Geraldy, Arnaldo Amaral, Helio Tys, Mauricio Sherman, Teixeira Filho, Orlando Correia, Edmundo Peruzzi, Alaide Costa, Aliomar de Matos, Nestor de Hollanda, Nadia Maria, Maria Muniz, Jararaca, Helio Chaves, Neide Rodrigues, Nelson Nobre, José Renato, Celso Garcia, Braga Filho, Jairo Argileu, Mario Brasini.

This list is really mind-boggling. When one looks up 'who voted for whom' one wonders whatever happened to ideology allegiance.

According to common sense Juscelino Kubitschek was the candidate of the political Left; Adhemar de Barros, a populist politician from S.Paulo would be a 'centrist' even though he would swing to the right at the drop of a hat... and finally Juarez Tavora was unmistakably the Rightwing candidate.

Then how can you explain Paulo Roberto, Paulo Gracindo and Mario Lago's votes for Juarez when they all belonged to the proscribed Communist Party (PCB) who supported Juscelino?

Adhemar de Barros was the candidate who got most of the 'real stars' (meaning real popular acts) like singers Marlene, Emilinha Borba, Eladyr Porto, Nelson Gonçalves and song-writers like Herivelto Martins, Ataulpho Alves and Humberto Teixeira.

Presidential election on 3rd October 1955, in which moderate-Left candidates Juscelino Kubitschek won the Presidency and João Goulat won the Vice-Presidency running on separate tickets.

'Mundo Ilustrado', 1st February 1956, the day Juscelino became President of Brazil.
