With two critically acclaimed albums, Brazilian singer Maíra Manga stands out in contemporary Brazilian music. Known for her expressive voice and artistic depth, she is building a strong reputation in the genre. Her debut album, "LÁ" (Biscoito Fino, 2021), features songs by Sergio Santos and Paulo César Pinheiro and gained international acclaim after its 2022 release in Japan by Impartmaint. The standout track “Raoni” won Best MPB Song at the 2nd Popular Music Awards. In 2023, Maíra released "Cortejo", a collaboration with Santos and Rafael Altério, featuring artists like André Mehmari, Toninho Ferragutti and Mônica Salmaso. Currently, she is working on her third album — a deep dive into the Brazilian songbook, reimagined through new arrangements and interpretations, continuing her exploration of popular song and chamber music, promising a rich and intimate musical experience.
