We’re off to Brazil! Rising singer-songwriter Mari Froes began sharing her passion for singing via a YouTube channel at 8 years old, uploading Brazilian covers of Amy Winehouse and Beyoncé. Fast forward to 2026: her debut album Esquino do Sol has garnered her international praise, an incredibly successful European tour, and a debut U.S. tour that completely sold out. Froes superbly blends hallmarks of traditional Brazilian music with contemporary thoughtfulness into a groovy feijoada of bossa nova, samba, jazz, and alt-pop. Up next? Opening for Leon Bridges on his Happieness Anytime tour in 2027.
