Josyara and Bia Ferreira Live in Toronto

Uma Nota Culture, Showzaço and Lulaworld proudly present three incredible Brazilian singer-songwriters gracing the same stage at Lula Lounge.

Josyara is a Brazilian guitarist and singer-songwriter who carries on her country’s tradition of combining infectious rhythms with an indulgent laid-back vibe. Despite her first album coming out over a decade ago, Josyara is relatively young, bringing a unique blend of youthful spirit and professional experience to her well-crafted songs.

Singer, songwriter, anti-racist activist and fierce defendant of the LGBTI+ community worldwide, Bia Ferreira defines her music as MMP: Música de Mulher Preta (Black Woman Music). She broke into public consciousness in 2017 with the track, Cota Não é Esmola, about the importance of the quota system for the access of the black population to the university. In addition to the 13 million views on YouTube and several million Spotify plays, the song became mandatory reading for the University of Brasília entrance exam.
