About the singers:

The Brazilian singer Ava Rocha has inherited the aesthetic breadth and playfulness of the late-1960s Tropicalia movement and connects it with new rock, funk, samba, free improvisation, serious composition, and noise; few records this year were as deep and fun.

Captivating Brazilian singer-songwriter Cissa Paz dazzles with smoldering tunes that meld the rich traditions of Afro-Brazilian music with Luso-African concepts. Since moving to the US, she has integrated R&B, soul, and hip-hop into her sound. With charisma and grace, Paz entertains and edifies her audiences, often sharing stories about the eclectic genres she explores. Youll be mesmerized by her soulful vocals as she captures the joyful spirit of Brazil.
