A Brazilian singer and composer whose band blends bossa nova and samba with folk and contemporary touches.
For a quick sense of Said's style, try 'Eternamente' or 'Dona Onça', they frame his melodic, rhythm-driven approach pretty well.
Felippe Said leads Dona Onça, a band that pulls from Brazilian traditions like bossa nova and samba, with nods to Milton Nascimento and João Gilberto. Their song 'Dona Onça' is a standout track, and they've played festivals from Coachella to Glastonbury. The music often digs into social and environmental themes, rooted in Said's Amazon background.
Said started Dona Onça in 2009 with bassist Felipe Marques and drummer Ademir Júnior. Their debut album 'Praça Onze' arrived in 2011, followed by records like 'O Dobro' and 'Repente' in 2020. The band grew to include keyboardist Daniel Coelho and vocalist Eloá Ribeiro along the way.
