Editor's note

Mallu Magalhães blends Brazilian rhythms with folk and pop

A singer-songwriter who emerged as a teenager and has woven traditional sounds with contemporary textures across her albums.

For a sense of her range, listen to 'Olha Só, Moreno' from the start and something like 'Dry Freezing Tongue' from later on. They're pretty different, but they're both her.

She started putting out music at 16, and that early work like 'Olha Só, Moreno' already had a mix of Brazilian rhythms and folk. Later albums like 'Pitanga' brought in pop and electronica, while 'Vem' circled back to traditional ground. She's worked with people from Devendra Banhart to Gilberto Gil, which says something about the space she occupies.

Her debut came in 2008, followed by more introspective material on 'Acabou Chorare' in 2011. A legal dispute with her label that same year paused things for a bit. She kept recording after that, with 'Pitanga' in 2015 and 'Vem' in 2017.
