Archive material and source history
Vanilda Fernandes Vaz grew up in Salvador, Bahia, where music was part of daily life. She joined the percussion group Olodum in 1985, appearing on their album "I Miss Baby." In 1991 she released her first solo record, simply called "Vanilda." Her second album, "Flor da Terra," came out a few years later and included the song "Atua Língua," which became widely known for its celebration of Afro-Brazilian language and culture.
She has worked with other Brazilian musicians like Carlinhos Brown and Margareth Menezes. Her singing draws from samba and pop, and she has been vocal about social issues, which has sometimes sparked discussion. She still performs with a band and has toured in Brazil and elsewhere.
