Afro-pop goddess, queen of axé, and samba-reggae ambassador, Margareth Menezes is a whirlwind of overflowing talent. Born into a humble Black family on the outskirts of São Salvador, the powerful-voiced Bahian artist is now a musical icon, a successful actress, and Brazil’s Minister of Culture. There’s no need to take our hats off to her – her simplicity outshines any ornament. From the electric trios of Carnival to stages around the world, Margareth carries the vibrant energy, innate musicality, and sensuality of the Brazilian people.
