Yara Alves is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Itapecerica da Serra. She started as a self-taught guitarist and vocalist, drawing from traditional folk melodies. In 2014, she put out her debut album 'Sementes,' which got some critical attention for its raw, emotionally charged writing.
Her song 'Bebendo Com a Solidão' came out in 2017 and connected with a lot of people. The track's lyrics about drinking with loneliness seemed to give listeners a kind of company in their own solitude. It became her most recognized piece.
Alves has worked with musicians like Rafael Miranda on guitar, Rodrigo Tavares on bass, Ricardo Maurício on drums, and Aline Falcão on percussion. She's also collaborated with artists including Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil.
