Directly from Macapá, in the far north of Brazil, the singer from Amapá, Patrícia Bastos, is without a doubt one of the greatest Brazilian voices of recent times. This is not only due to her clear and precise vocal expression, capable of fascinating anyone upon first listen, but also because of the wealth of cultural information that her extensive discography conveys.
In total, she has released eight albums that exalt, promote, and affirm Afro-Amazonian musical expressions such as "marabaixo" and "batuque," contributing richly to the broader understanding of Black, Indigenous, and Amazonian musical traditions in 21st-century Brazil.
