Editor's note

Flora Matos mixes Brazilian roots with percussive soul

A São Paulo singer whose music weaves samba, jazz, and social awareness into something quietly insistent.

For a good sense of her sound, try 'TEIA' first, that percussive groove and haunting melody tell you most of what you need. Then maybe 'Não Tive o Que Não Quis Ter' to hear how she handles the quieter, more reflective side.

Her song 'TEIA' from 2019 became an anthem of resilience, built on intricate percussion and a haunting melody. Tracks like 'Não Tive o Que Não Quis Ter' and 'Essência' show how she blends Brazilian traditions with jazz and soul in ways that feel both traditional and immediate. She's been outspoken about social issues in her work, which gives the music an extra layer of purpose.

She grew up in São Paulo hearing samba, bossa nova, and Afro-Brazilian rhythms at home. After singing with Rosa Passos e Grupo Vocal in the early 2000s, she put out her first solo album in 2006. Since then she's kept writing and recording, working with rhythms that feel both rooted and fresh.
