Editor's note

Karla Sabah, the voice of Mais Que Nada

The Brazilian singer who fronted the band behind the classic song 'Mais Que Nada'.

For her sound, start with 'Mais Que Nada' and 'Bye Bye.' That's the range.

Her voice is the one you hear on the original 1968 recording of 'Mais Que Nada,' the track that put her band on the map. She kept recording into the '70s with songs like 'Momento de Samba' and 'Bye Bye,' and her collaborations list reads like a who's who of Brazilian music, Sergio Mendes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento. Even after facing prison and surveillance, she didn't stop singing.

She was the lead vocalist for Mais Que Nada when the band formed in 1966. They hit with their debut album two years later, and she stayed through recordings like 'Sentimento Brasileiro' in 1976. Later, she worked with figures like Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso.
