Editor's note

Vanessa da Mata writes Brazilian songs with hometown roots

A singer-songwriter from Alto Garças whose music blends personal storytelling with Brazilian rhythms.

For a sense of her range, try 'Case-se Comigo' and 'Tudo Bateu' with Ivete Sangalo. They show different sides of the same writer.

Her songs feel grounded in place, whether it's the rhythms of her hometown or the collaborations that stretch her sound. 'Bolsa de Grife' shows her knack for sharp, everyday storytelling. That track with Ben Harper, 'Boa Sorte / Good Luck', helped introduce her voice to listeners outside Brazil.

She started writing early, influenced by her father's records. Her debut arrived in 2002, followed by albums like 'Essa Boneca Tem Dono' in 2004 and 'Sim' in 2007. Along the way she's worked with Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Seu Jorge.
