Bruna Karla Essentials

Cutting her teeth on contemporary Christian music from a young age, Bruna Karla released her debut LP while still a tween. Within a decade, her album Advogado Fiel—a glimmering collection of Brazilian gospel ballads—was the first in a string of releases to be nominated for a Latin GRAMMY. An earthy mezzo with a compelling live presence, Karla towers above heartfelt backing vocals bolstered by eloquent, key-laden arrangements. But she also turns her talents to pop-rock, offering fervent melodies like the electric guitar-charged “Força”.
