BIA FERREIRA

"A powerful sound with a clear message."

An expressive singer who doesn't mince her words: Bia Ferreira uses her music to speak out against racism, homophobia and for equality. The lyrics of the Brazilian singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer are direct, in her songs Afro-diasporic rhythms such as soul, R'n'B, reggae and rap meet Brazilian music styles such as samba and repente. The result is a powerful sound that conveys a clear message: No to any form of discrimination and yes to love.
