Gaagua (Longing) Elisete's second album was released in 2006.
Elisete called the album longing because although she feels completely Israeli she still has longing for the Brazil she left behind – the children on rooftops flying kites in the colors of Brazil and all of her childhood memories. Elisete uses the colors she brought from Brazil to draw our reality in her songs.
The songs reflect Elisete: an almost impossible blend of simple words that touch your soul directly with Brazilian rhythms that just make you dance. Elisete's optimism and her warn smile resonate throughout the album and allows you yo be swept with the songs to the sunny Brazil she carries in her heart.
The album is dedicated to the late Ehud Manor that gave a hand to young independent artists and supported Elisete when she released her songs to the radio. In Longing Elisete goes a step beyond singing and writing lyrics and melodies, and is an active partner in all stages of production including involvement in writing the arrangements.
