Mart'nália (born Mart'nália Menezes) is a Brazilian samba and pagode powerhouse carrying the musical legacy of her legendary father, samba icon Martinho da Vila. Born in Rio de Janeiro, she grew up immersed in the rhythmic traditions of Estácio’s samba schools, blending that heritage with her own modern flair. While initially recognized as a percussionist and backing vocalist for her dad, she carved her own path with velvety vocals and compositions that celebrate love, resilience, and everyday Brazilian life.
Her vibrant releases—like *Pagode da Mart'nália* and *O ENSIMESMADO*—mix nostalgic samba rhythms with contemporary energy, earning her a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Samba/Pagode Album. Known for collaborations with stars like Zeca Pagodinho and a magnetic stage presence, Mart'nália keeps traditional Brazilian sounds fresh while honoring her roots. Tracks like *Batuque na Cozinha* and *Domingo* showcase her knack for turning kitchen-table grooves into dancefloor anthems, solidifying her as a guardian of samba’s soul.
