ACF SUPPORTED | CONCERT | Célia Mara

“…this is the sound of Nu-Brazil by way of Vienna… Brash, confident and assured”
-Songlines

“One of the best new “Brazilian” records to come around this year is actually from Austria! Brazilian transplant Celia Mara builds a bridge between her homeland’s lush tropical sounds and chilly Teutonic electronica…“
-Globalrhythm

“The message is vive le métissage: respect each other, stop discrimination of whatever kind and to hell with borders.”
-Songlines

All Célia Mara tracks are songs that are dedicated to the crucial questions of being, that is, love, politics and religion… On stage, you‘ll get an awesome band, transmitting this urban Brazilian feeling, groovy underground … with an explosive singer and a lot of rebellion! It is music coming out of a Central European Metropolis. Brazil strictly made in Vienna.

Born in Minas Gerais near the Bahian border, Célia Mara grew up with music. “I remember my mother and sisters singing all day long…” Macumba-drums and samba rhythms have accompanied her since childhood and formed her music style.
