Merging the rich multicultural essence of her homeland with the vibrant spirit of her new surroundings, Olivia Brasil’s performance blossoms in an environment alive with artistic energy and cultural depth. It is within this dynamic space that she, alongside guitarist Miguel Palmeira, presents an evocative celebration that bridges the soul of her heritage with a contemporary and deeply personal musical expression.

Through her years of musical exploration and research, Olivia has come to an important realization: in Brazilian popular music, the works of female composers are rarely given the spotlight they deserve. These artists, whose contributions are foundational, remain underrepresented and often overlooked within the broader musical narrative.

In response to this gap, Olivia launches her first project, an intimate and powerful duo performance with Miguel Palmeira, honoring the voices, stories, and legacies of women as composers and arrangers in Brazilian music. This premiere presentation invites audiences into a carefully curated journey through sound and memory.

The repertoire will highlight trailblazing figures such as Cátia de França, Anastácia, Dona Ivone Lara, Joyce, Marlui Miranda, and many others. Drawing from the vast rhythms and textures that shape Brazilian cultural identity, the performance becomes a vibrant tapestry that celebrates diversity, resilience, and the unifying power of music.
