As a multi-instrumentalist and singer, Mari will be playing the piano and the asalto (a traditional West African percussion and rhythm instrument). Her band is formed by Guilherme Monteiro (bass, guitar & vocals) and Danilo Moura (drums & vocals). The recording of her EP featured the songs ‘Reverbero’ and ‘Fúria’, produced by a team of Latin Grammy winners: Felipe Vassão, mixed by João Milliet, and mastered by Felipe Tichauer.
