A Brazilian singer who started with Blitz and built a solo career mixing funk, soul, and electronic sounds.
For a quick sense of her range, try 'A Lata' for its pure pop hook and 'Escurinho' for something a little darker and more electronic. Both feel like Rio.
Her 1989 debut 'SLA Radical Disco Dance' announced a new kind of Brazilian pop voice, one that could move from the raw energy of 'Baile Funk' to the smoother electronic textures of 'Be Sample.' She's worked with everyone from Seu Jorge to Caetano Veloso, but her own records have a distinct, playful Rio de Janeiro pulse that never quite sounds like anyone else.
She began as a backing vocalist for the band Blitz in the mid-1980s. Her solo work started with 'SLA Radical Disco Dance' and continued through albums like 1997's 'Raio X' and 2010's 'O Que Você Quer Saber de Verdade,' always pulling from funk, soul, and electronic styles.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
