Editor's note

Gaby Amarantos, the percussive voice from Belém

A singer and drummer who blends carimbó rhythms with modern Brazilian pop.

For a quick sense of her sound, 'Não Vou Te Deixar' and 'Embraza' frame it well, both are driving, rhythmic, and unmistakably from Pará.

Her sound is rooted in the percussion she started playing at 14 with Batuque do Bombeiro in Pará. Songs like 'Não Vou Te Deixar' from her 2010 album 'Treme' helped define that mix of northern Brazilian rhythms and dance energy. She's also worked with artists like Ney Matogrosso on 'Vênus Em Escorpião,' showing a reach beyond her home region.

She co-founded the band Tecno Xote in 2001, which became her main musical vehicle. After her debut 'Treme' in 2010, she's released albums like 'Gaby Amarantos' in 2012 and 'À Vontade' in 2020, with tracks like 'Pagode Russo' keeping that percussive style alive.

Archive material and source history

Gaby Amarantos grew up in Belém, Pará, where she started drumming with the percussion group Batuque do Bombeiro at 14. In 2001, she co-founded the band Tecno Xote, which became her main musical vehicle. Her debut album 'Treme' came out in 2010 and included songs like 'Não Vou Te Deixar' and 'Você Não Entende' that helped establish her sound.

Her music draws from carimbó and other rhythms from northern Brazil, but she's worked with artists from different traditions too. She's recorded with Ney Matogrosso on 'Vênus Em Escorpião' and Cristiano Araújo on 'Boas Festas,' and her performances sometimes address social issues. The band Tecno Xote includes musicians like Rafael Lemos on guitar and Marcelo Loureiro on bass.

She's released several albums since 'Treme,' including 'Gaby Amarantos' in 2012 and 'À Vontade' in 2020. Songs like 'Pagode Russo' and 'Embraza' show her continuing to work with the percussive, dance-oriented style she developed in Pará.
