Gaby Amarantos, born Gabriela Amaral dos Santos on August 1, 1978, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and actress hailing from the city of Belém, in the state of Pará. Often referred to as the "Queen of Tecno Brega," Amarantos has been a key figure in popularizing the tecno brega music genre—a regional fusion of brega pop music with electronic dance music and Caribbean rhythms. Known for her vibrant performances and bold fashion sense, she has become a symbol of the cultural richness of the Amazon region and is a powerful voice for diversity and LGBTQ+ rights in Brazil.

Amarantos's music is characterized by an infectious blend of regional Brazilian rhythms and contemporary pop influences, creating an energetic and danceable sound that has resonated with audiences across Brazil and beyond. With hits like "Ex Mai Love," which became the theme of a popular Brazilian telenovela, and "Xirley," Amarantos has crafted a distinctive musical identity that combines storytelling with an irrepressible carnival-like atmosphere. Her recent releases continue to showcase her innovative approach to music, as she remixes and reinterprets her songs to bring new experiences to her fans, ensuring her status as a pioneering artist in the Brazilian music scene.
