Bia Ferreira, a Brazilian singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, stands out for her innovative approach to combining Afrodiasporic rhythms—like soul, R & B, reggae, and rap—with Brazilian music—such as samba and repente. She is known for her lyrics addressing racism, women’s rights, and LGBTQIAP+ rights. She broke into public consciousness in 2017 with the track “Cota Não é Esmola,” which highlights the importance of the quota system for the black Brazilian population’s access to the country’s universities. In addition to the 13 million views on YouTube and several million Spotify plays, the song became mandatory reading for the University of Brasília’s entrance exam. Ferreira was nominated for the 2018 Women in Music Awards. This evening, she performs with her trio.

Las Karamba (Spain)
Founded in the midst of the bustling streets of Barcelona, Las Karamba consists of six women musicians who are mestizas and migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Catalonia, France, and Argentina. Together, they create new, timeless, danceable music that includes traditional styles—including son, cha-cha-cha, salsa, and timba—influenced by rap and urban music, as well as a touch of samba and rumba. With the band’s formation, six life stories converged, each individually shaped by migration and musical heritage.
