Yoyomá Live presents Mari Merenda
On her first visit to Bristol and the UK, the rising Brazilian singer-songwriter Mari Merenda brings her live show featuring songs from ‘Reverbero’, her latest EP. With an expressive voice and a magnetic stage presence, Mari breathes new life into contemporary Brazilian music.
As a multi-instrumentalist and singer, Mari will be playing the piano and the asalto (a traditional West African percussion and rhythm instrument), and Guilherme Monteiro will be playing bass, guitar & vocals. Tábata Zeronian serves as the artistic director of the concert.
The recording of her EP featured the songs ‘Reverbero’ and ‘Fúria’, produced by a team of Latin Grammy winners: Felipe Vassão, mixed by João Milliet, and mastered by Felipe Tichauer.
