Zaine Cerqueira is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Rio de Janeiro who began releasing music in 2007. Her debut album that year was self-titled, and it included the song 'Arrebatamento,' which became a breakout single for her. She works with a band that includes musicians like Marcos Almeida on guitar and Henrique Alves on piano.
Her music often deals with spiritual themes, which has sometimes drawn criticism from conservative religious groups. In 2013, she released a song addressing female empowerment in the church that led to accusations of heresy. She has continued to release albums, including 'Encontro' in 2010, 'Caminho' in 2013, and 'Fluir' in 2017.
Another of her notable songs is 'O Deus de Providência.' Her work combines acoustic instruments like guitar and piano with electronic elements, creating a sound that has found an audience in Brazil.
