Larissa Barbosa grew up in Cidade Tiradentes, São Paulo, where she first sang in a church choir. Her early exposure to gospel, soul, and MPB shaped the raw, soulful quality in her voice.
In 2018, her single "No Som da Larissa" became a breakout hit, mixing Afrobeat rhythms with catchy melodies. She followed it with albums like "Larissa Barbosa" in 2019 and "Tempos" in 2022, which often blend traditional Brazilian sounds with more contemporary production.
Her lyrics sometimes touch on social issues like racism and poverty, which has drawn both support and criticism. On stage, she performs with a band that includes Thiago Bigras on bass, Felipe Rodrigues on guitar, Gustavo França on drums, and Breno dos Santos on keyboards and backing vocals.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
