Ari Sousa

**Ari Sousa** is a Brazilian singer-songwriter crafting dreamy indie pop with a distinctly Brazilian soul. Emerging in the late 2010s, their music weaves intimate, poetic storytelling with warm acoustic textures and subtle nods to regional rhythms like forró and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). Tracks like "Aconchego" and "Quarto de Maria" showcase their knack for cozy, introspective melodies that feel like late-night conversations, while the *O Cerco* EP (2022) introduced bolder production choices, blending lo-fi beats with breezy guitar work. Though they keep a low-key presence online, Ari’s emotionally honest lyrics about love, longing, and self-discovery have built a quietly devoted following drawn to their understated charm.
