Martinha do Coco

Martinha do Coco is a cherished figure in the Brazilian music scene, known for her profound contributions to the traditional rhythms of Coco, an Afro-Brazilian genre rooted in the northeastern part of the country.

Her music invites listeners to connect with the roots of Brazil's diverse cultural landscape, offering a lively, soul-stirring experience that transcends geographical boundaries.
