Maria Beraldo

Maria Beraldo is one of the most prominent artists in the contemporary scene and one of the most relevant queer voices in Brazilian music. A clarinetist since youth, she initially worked in São Paulo’s music scene as an instrumentalist, having performed with Elza Soares, Arrigo Barnabé, among others. In 2018, she released CAVALA, her first solo album, which introduced her as a singer, producer, and composer, and launched her as a leading figure in the Brazilian scene, earning her several nominations and a WME award.

Besides this project, Maria is part of the instrumental group Quartabê, which recently released its fourth album and has performed at festivals in Brazil, Europe, Japan, and South America. The artist is also an important name in music for theater and cinema in Brazil.
