A Belém-born voice who turned Carimbó into a national hit with 'Morena do Carimbó'.
For a quick sense of her, put on 'Morena do Carimbó', it's all there in the beat and her voice. 'Flutuar No Horizonte' works too if you want something a little later.
Her 1999 debut album 'Morena do Carimbó' gave Brazil a taste of Pará's sound, mixing Carimbó, Lambada, and Boi Bumbá into something you could dance to nationwide. Songs like 'Flutuar No Horizonte' carry that regional pulse forward, and her outspoken support for LGBTQ+ rights has kept her voice relevant beyond the music. She's worked with names like Daniela Mercury and Gilberto Gil, but the beat always feels like home.
She started singing and dancing at festivals in Belém as a girl. After 'Morena do Carimbó' hit in 1999, she kept recording albums like 'Transparente' in 2004 and 'Raízes' in 2016, often with guitarist Alexandre Costa and bassist Higor Ferreira in her band.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
