Talita Caldas

Talita Caldas is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from São Paulo whose music became intertwined with the country's political divisions. Her 2018 single "Somos Todas Bolsonaro" served as a rallying cry for supporters of Jair Bolsonaro during his presidential campaign, drawing both intense admiration and significant criticism. The song's straightforward political alignment made her a prominent figure in Brazil's cultural landscape almost overnight.

Her work includes other songs like "Trem da Corrupção" and "O Velho Olavo Tem Razão!" that continue to address political themes. While her music clearly reflects her personal beliefs, the attention it brought also subjected her to considerable online harassment and public scrutiny. She kept releasing music in the following years, with tracks like "Se Essa Rua Fosse Minha" appearing alongside her more overtly political material.

Caldas developed her musical skills through local performances in São Paulo before gaining wider attention. Her catalog shows someone working within Brazil's contemporary folk and pop traditions while making direct political statements, particularly during the polarized period surrounding Bolsonaro's rise to power.
