Talita Catanzaro was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1987. She grew up hearing samba, bossa nova, and forro around the house, and sang in local choirs and festivals as a teenager.
Her first album, "Cordão de Areia," came out in 2010. It mixed Brazilian rhythms with pop, and got her noticed. Four years later, "Mulher de Pedra" included the song "Ruja o Leão," which became a hit. She also has a track called "Audiência de Um."
Her lyrics and performances sometimes stirred things up, touching on feminism and social issues. She works with a backing band called Os Músicos do Rio.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
