Editor's note

Elder Costa, a Brazilian singer from Maragogipe

His music blends samba, reggae, and axé, anchored by the breakout single "Dona Benta."

For a sense of his style, try "Dona Benta" or "Florir." They capture that easy, sunlit groove he does well.

Elder Costa's sound pulls from the samba, reggae, and axé he heard growing up in Maragogipe, giving his songs a coastal, rhythmic feel. The single "Dona Benta" got him noticed across Brazil, even though it sparked plagiarism accusations that were later dismissed. Tracks like "Florir" and "Direção" show how he keeps that mix alive on his albums.

He started gaining attention in the early 2010s with "Dona Benta." His self-titled debut album arrived in 2015, followed by "Novo Tempo" in 2017 and "Nação Reggae" in 2019.
