About Juçara Marçal

Juçara Marçal is a Brazilian singer and songwriter. Her music bridges traditional Afro-Brazilian folk sounds with experimental electronic music, rock, and hip-hop. She is equally well known for her work in vocal groups such as Grupo Vésper during the 1990s and A Barca in the early 2000s. She co-leads vanguard rock outfit Metá Metá with guitarist Kiko Dinucci and saxophonist/flutist Thiago França. Their iconoclastic sound weds punk, jazz, samba, Afrobeat, and candomblé. Marçal made her solo debut with the guitarist on 2008's Padê before forming the band. She released the self-produced Encarnado in 2014. In 2015, she issued Anganga in collaboration with guitarist and electronicist Cadu Tenório. Two years later, after recordings and tours with Metá Metá, Marçal teamed with Campos and Gui Amabis for the mini album Sambas Do Absurdo, and released the solo effort Delta Estácio Blues in 2021.
