A Brazilian singer-songwriter whose music moves between bossa nova, samba, and pop with a sharp, particular voice.
For her way with a melody, try 'Um Dia Desses.' If you want the story behind the stir, 'Devolva-Me' is the one.
She came up in Porto Alegre listening to Billie Holiday and João Gilberto, and her first album, 'Enguiço,' in 1990 announced a writer with her own phrasing. Songs like 'Devolva-Me' stirred controversy in 1999 for its lyrics, but she held her ground and has spoken up for LGBTQ+ rights since. Her catalog, from 'Um Dia Desses' to 'Lá Lá Lá,' shows a musician who touches on traditions without staying in one lane.
Her debut 'Enguiço' got attention in 1990, followed by records like 'Etc' in 1994 and 'Marítimo' in 1998. Over more than a dozen albums, she's worked with players like guitarist Chico Brown and bassist Swami Jr., keeping her sound fluid.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
