Her new album is called Bicicletas, Bolos e Outras Alegrias (Bicycles, Cakes and Other Joys). You can already listen to some of the new tracks on Youtube or on her site. Just be ready to hear some of these new songs over and over again, especially if you are a Brazilian radio listener.
Here’s Elis Regina singing Bala Com Bala, plus a few links of other interpretations.
João Bosco (who wrote the song), Negra Li.
I don’t speak Hebrew so I’m not sure if the lyrics are similar but doesn’t sound too bad.
I also found an Israeli Idol winner, Roni Daloomi, who did a video in Rio.
“In 1973, Solano Ribeiro directed the film Novos Baianos Futebol Clube, a co-production of TV Bandierante with a German TV network. The documentary is a look back at the mythic Os Novos Baianos and shows intimate moments with the band members, seen from the Sitio do Vovó in the Rio de Janeiro suburb Jacarepaguá. The unedited short film, which was placed online about a year ago, has become a true cult movie.
In the video below, one can see the first part. The documentary continues by clicking on the second and third part.” – Source (in IT)

Vamos passear de bicicleta (Let’s ride around on our bicycles) is from Hyldon’s famous 1975 disc ‘Na Rua, Na Chuva, Na Fazenda’ (In the street, in the rain, on the farm), which is also the title track to a song just about everyone knows.
As a bonus, I’ll leave you with a nice desktop picture for your computer (click, drag and drop)
Here are two songs by the talented gaúcho singer Vitor Ramil. The first is from a Fernando Pessoa poem. If you’d like to hear one in Spanish of him and Caetano Veloso singing a poem by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, I’ll post it below as a link. The more I hear of his music, the more I want to listen to more.

I’m going to do it old-school today and present two songs by Elizeth Cardoso, an actress and one of the great divas of Brazilian bossa nova and samba who left us with 40-something albums of her work. The first song (Barracão do Zinco) was one of her biggest hits and the bonus is the second song (Naquela Mesa).
