Margareth Menezes is an artist in constant evolution and movement. “Autêntica”, 2019, is the most recent title in the discography of Margareth Menezes, who was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2020 in the category of Best Portuguese Root Music Album. The album and the concert, affirm her personality as an interpreter, while addressing questions about the black woman’s blackness and strength, as evidenced in songs like “Minha Diva, Minha Mãe” (hers) and “Mãe Preta” (Luedji Luna / Ravi Landim). Produced by Tito Oliveira and recorded in four cities around the world in Salvador, São Paulo, New York and Paris.
Carnaval
There are more than 30 carnivals reverberating in the streets the joy, strength and representativeness of AfroPop Brasileiro. There were many important moments ahead of two movements created by Margareth Menezes and that became very traditional in the Salvador Carnival, in Bahia: Os Mascarados, created in 1999, and the only block with Carnival costumes, and the Movimento Afropop Brasileiro, launched in 2005. Without strings and entirely popular, the movement celebrates black culture in Brazil.
Afropop received support from large Afro groups (Ilê Aiyê, Muzenza, Cortejo Afro, Filhos de Gandhy and MalêdeBalê), in addition to bringing together names such as Gilberto Gil, Daniela Mercury, Lazzo, Roberto Mendes, Virgínia Rodrigues, Mariene de Castro, among others. Nowadays, Margareth Menezes continues to give voice to these movements, animating crowds from above the electric trio during the biggest street party in the world, which is the Carnival of Salvador – Bahia.
