A Brazilian artist whose music blends samba and bossa nova with personal and social themes.
For a sense of her range, try 'Inteira' for its reflective mood and 'Choro Das Águas' for its social focus. Both frame her ability to move between the personal and the political without sounding forced.
Parra's songs like 'Inteira' and 'Choro Das Águas' reflect a shift toward introspection after her autoimmune diagnosis in 2016, while her work with Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil ties her to Brazilian traditions. She doesn't stick to one genre, and her focus on social justice and environmental issues adds a distinct layer to her writing. Tracks like 'Festa de Despedida' from her 2013 debut 'Vento Bom' show her early approach, but albums like 'Banzeiro' and 'Maré' reveal how her sound has evolved without losing its roots.
She started with 'Vento Bom' in 2013, which brought wider attention in Brazil. After her diagnosis in 2016, her music turned more introspective, as heard on songs like 'Inteira' and 'Oração'. Later albums like 'Oceano' and 'Maré' continued to blend personal themes with social commentary, backed by a band including Rafael Montesi on guitar.
