Fabiana Cozza

Fabiana Cozza brings the soul and spirit of samba to Strathmore's Mansion on Sunday, April 11, 2027, with two performances. The Brazilian vocalist is described as a full-bodied contralto of unusual warmth, power, and clarity, and she has drawn comparisons to Dianne Reeves, Clara Nunes, and Maria Bethânia; in her lower register, her voice is said to reach the depth of a female tenor. Her music is driven by samba as an Afro-Brazilian social, cultural, and musical force, but she looks beyond Carnival spectacle to older traditions: the echoes of the terreiros, the colors of Bahia, the samba circles of Rio de Janeiro, and the samba that gave birth to bossa nova. Her performances have been called evocative and of "shamanistic power," and they honor the Afro-Brazilian musical inheritance passed down from her father, a singer who led one of Brazil's great traditional samba schools.

The engagement is presented with support from the Mid Atlantic Tours program of Mid Atlantic Arts, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts in collaboration with Ibermúsicas. It offers an intimate setting in the Mansion, with general admission seating and a complimentary glass of wine before the show for guests 21 and older.
