BACO

Baco Exu do Blues is a rapper, singer and songwriter from Bahia. For him, it’s about ‘knowing how to enjoy every step you take, every advance you take. Don’t just pass and run over everything.”

URIAS

Reinventing the national pop scene is no mean feat – but Urias, a singer and songwriter from Minas Gerais, has been doing just that.

“Brindando O Corre is to understand where we came from, where we are, where we want to go. It’s celebrating achievements no matter how few, small or big they are”, she says.

In her episode, the artist told Podpah about her career and the challenges she’s faced since pre-teen years. In this very important trajectory, Urias was able to count on the support of five friends, who were essential to make the career she has today happen. Tune in now.

MC DAVI

MC Davi is one of the most popular funk singers in Brazil. For him, “Brindando O Corre has to be something you conquer, for you to always be toasting. So it’s not just a toast, you know?”
