I come from a family of six women, so I’ve heard women’s stories my whole life and my family is a very struggling family. Women have a lot of strength, a lot of determination to chase their dreams like that.

Representation of a people

No one in particular came to mind. A people came to me, a story of a people of which I am part. So, when I bring this, I bring the story of people, dozens of people who live in me too and who permeate me, my flesh, my blood, the earth, literally, where I came from”, he shares.

Laura states: “The song ‘Medo’ is a song that I identify with a lot, because it says that a lot. How scary it is to be standing still in one place, everyone moving and me standing here in one place. I think everyone has that feeling sometimes, no matter how long you’ve had, I don’t know, 20 years in your career.”

Power of song

“My medley is very beautiful, just like ‘Our Fathers’. So, it’s very, very iconic to sing,” he says. Marya. “It’s a song from Eline also, which is ‘Deixa’ and I still walked here to the theater today and thought about how I wish I had heard this song before, when I was a teenager so, you know, I think I would have avoided so many bad things. Because it really is a hymn of life and it really is a teaching that we can apply to our daily lives”, he adds Nayara.

Pre-Grammy

Eline also celebrates, in addition to the piece, a pre-nomination for the 2024 Latin Grammy and shares the joy: “It took me three years to release my album and it was years of composition work.
