Ysmael Costa is a Brazilian musician who gained attention in 2014 with the single "Um Novo Amor." The song connected with listeners and became popular on Brazilian charts. He grew up hearing samba and bossa nova, which shaped his approach to music.
After that initial success, he released several albums including "Ao Vivo em São Paulo" in 2017, "De Volta ao Samba" in 2019, and "O Amor Está no Ar" in 2022. These recordings show him working with different Brazilian styles. He has performed with his brother Ismael Júnior on drums and his father Ismael Costa Sr. on bass, along with guitarist Renato Rosa.
In 2016, there was a plagiarism lawsuit regarding "Um Novo Amor," but it was dismissed. He has also worked with other Brazilian artists like Ivete Sangalo and Jorge Aragão. His music continues to draw from Brazilian traditions while reaching a contemporary audience.
