A singer from Parnamirim whose frevo and forró roots have sparked conversations about cultural exchange in Brazil.
If you want to hear her in a nutshell, try 'Pot-Pourri Frevo' for the energy and 'Intensamente' for something a little more inward.
Her 2007 debut 'Flor do Sertão' landed with the hit 'Onde o Xaxado Tá', and she's kept that regional pulse alive while working with names like Gilberto Gil. The 2013 controversy over her use of indigenous music elements made people talk about who gets to borrow what in Brazilian music. Songs like 'Pot-Pourri Frevo' and 'Salvador, Salvador' show how she holds onto that Pernambuco sound without staying in one lane.
She started in Parnamirim, Pernambuco, in a family of musicians, and put out 'Flor do Sertão' in 2007. Since then, she's released six more albums, playing with a band that includes Rafael Paraíso on guitar and João Paulo Amaral on bass.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
