Fortuna

Fortuna is a Brazilian singer and cultural force known for her lush fusion of Sephardic Jewish traditions, world music textures, and Brazilian rhythms. With a career spanning over three decades, she’s become a guardian of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) songs and Sephardic storytelling, blending them with influences from MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), Arabic melodies, and global folk styles. Her releases, like the soulful *Baruch Habah* and the cross-cultural journey of *Novos Mares Alepo.Sefarad.Olinda*, reflect her mission to bridge diasporic histories through music. Tracks such as *Hatikva* and *Amor Profano* showcase her haunting vocals and knack for reimagining ancient themes with contemporary arrangements. Celebrating 15 years of artistry in 2008 with a retrospective album, Fortuna continues to enchant audiences with work that feels both deeply rooted and boundary-free, honoring memory while sailing toward "new seas."
