Mariana Masetto’s fourth album. “Ela e o mar” (“her and the sea” in Portugese) is also the name of the fourth track on the record, inspired in the magical landscape of Jericoacoara, Ceará, very near the equator in the Northeast of Brazil, as well as in the Brazilian rhythm forró. This album was born out of Mariana’s eagerness to show her search in the flowing with music as it marks her own life. In it, she expresses her identity as an artist, enjoying being both soft and energetic, sweet, and full of meaning in each word.

Nominated Best New Folklore Artist Album at the 2013 Carlos Gardel Awards, and Best World Beat Song at the 13Th Independent Music Awards , USA.
A window gaping at an open field, letting Mariana Masetto’s art fly on wings of freedom — that’s the spirit of her second album. A journey that invites us to join her throughout Latin America with her magical voice, over the course of which she describes emotions from love to coolness to desire, joy, awe, and hard reflection. Towards the middle of the way, she takes us across the sea for a brief view of Africa, the continent that has given us so much in its rhythms, from times so remote yet made current in her singing and her connecting each of the songs in the album with the beating of the drums and the percussion.

In her first album, singer and percussionist Mariana Masetto offers covers of traditional songs from Argentina, Chile and Colombia. Her unique personal style emphasizes austerity, approaching songs almost always by herself or, at most, accompanied by Mariana Baraj, Enrique Norris, Lucas Loberto or Facundo Guevara, as guest musicians and, in the case of the latter, also as artistic producer. She uses her voice elegantly, showing her folkloric roots, as just another instrument, while also playing a wide array of percussion instruments that are often her only accompaniment.
It is on this truly acoustic dimension of Mariana Masetto’s work that she succeeds in conveying the earthy, handcrafted quality of her music, achieving a warm, intimate sound that might hypnotize you like a mantra. It is hard not to wonder where this girl came from.
