Joier

**Joier** is a Brazilian indie pop duo that's been crafting dreamy, introspective tunes since emerging on the scene around 2018. Comprised of Julia Tavares and Rafael Baroni, the pair blends breezy pop melodies with subtle nods to MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Their lyrics—often sung in Portuguese—dive into themes of love, vulnerability, and everyday poetry, as heard in tracks like the tender “Juras de Amor,” the raw “Cicatrizes,” and the wistful “Taças de Vinho.”

Known for their DIY ethos, Joier self-produces much of their work and shares a cozy, lo-fi aesthetic through homemade music videos and artwork. While they’ve kept a relatively low profile, their music has found a niche audience via platforms like Bandcamp and SoundCloud, and they’ve charmed crowds at intimate venues across São Paulo. With a vibe that’s equal parts bedroom pop and Brazilian warmth, Joier feels like a sweet secret shared between friends.
