Samba-Funk for all of us! Today, I want to show you the girl who sings Rio 40 Degrees to send this rain away. Fernanda was raised in a middle-class family of the south Zone, a neighbourhood of Rio. Her first notable public appearance was the backing vocal of the band Blitz until 1986. After that, in 1990, she started a solo career singing funk, disco and dance music, achieving great success in her native country.
Her first solo album, SLA Radical Dance Disco Club (1990), and had a hit with A Noite. Her second album, SLA2/Be Sample (1992), was one of the earliest Brazilian pop records to extensively employ the sampler, and had success with Rio 40 Graus, portraying Rio de Janeiro climate, people and lifestyle. Since then, Abreu has been considered the first lady of Brazilian funk. She mixed samba, pop, funk, MPB and so on to her music and it is really good the results.
In her songs, she often talks about Brazilian culture and people. She loves to show her passion for Brazil and Rio, but in the same time she criticizes. Her lyrics are always very positive, there is no drama, even in her love songs there not pain and suffer.
I am bringing to you videos to have a look on her and also the link to have her songs.
