Jadsa Castro

Jadsa Castro came up in São Paulo's favelas, singing at local parties before her 2017 debut single 'Não Cabe Em Nós' found an audience. The song connected with Brazilian women, its lyrics touching on gender inequality and resilience.

Her first album 'Jovem Preta' arrived in 2019, mixing Brazilian rhythms with hip-hop and pop. Later records like 'O Mundo Não Cabe em Nós' and 'Vivendo com o Medo do Amanhã' took on racial justice and social inequality, often speaking directly to marginalized communities.

Her writing tends to be direct, dealing with domestic violence, police brutality, and how race and gender intersect. That straightforward approach has drawn attention, sometimes putting her at the center of conversations she didn't start.
