A Brazilian singer whose songs about resilience and women's strength connect with everyday listeners.
For her plainspoken approach, start with 'Mulheres Guerreiras' and 'Ela Não Anda, Ela Marcha'. They get right to what she does.
Her 2017 song 'Mulheres Guerreiras' became something of an anthem for women's strength across Brazil. She writes plainly about women's experiences and everyday struggles, with songs like 'Ela Não Anda, Ela Marcha' and 'Reconstrução' carrying that direct, grounded quality. Even when facing criticism for being too explicit or political, she keeps writing songs that feel close to the ground.
Growing up in Duque de Caxias, a working-class neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, she started singing early, drawing from samba and funk rhythms that were part of the local sound. She's worked with other Brazilian musicians including Ivete Sangalo, Alcione, and Zeca Pagodinho. Songs like 'Pisa Na Brasa' and 'Pisei Na Brasa' have that same unadorned, rhythmic feel she's maintained.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
