A Salvador singer whose 2010 track "Calcanhar" anchors a catalog of samba, axé, and MPB-influenced work.
If you're new to her work, start with "Calcanhar" and "Pedras de Sal." They frame her sound pretty well.
Her 2010 song "Calcanhar" became her most recognizable track, a steady presence in Brazilian music for over a decade. She's also known for songs like "Pedras de Sal" and "Trancelim de Marfim," drawing from samba and axé while nodding to MPB influences like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso. In 2014, she released a music video featuring a lesbian couple that sparked discussion about LGBTQ+ representation in Brazilian media.
She started singing in local choirs before pursuing a solo career in her early twenties, releasing her first album in 2004. The 2010 album "Calcanhar" gave her a signature track, followed by "Nação Nordestina" in 2014, "Canto de Guerreira" in 2018, and "Reverso" in 2021. She works with rotating musicians for recordings and performances rather than maintaining a fixed band.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
