Music, Dance & Performance
Gaby Amarantos
Reach: It reaches the Americas more widely, including the United States, Canada, the Caribbean or multiple American subregions.
Gaby Amarantos projects a pop, urban, and contemporary Amazon, connecting tecnobrega, Belém’s aparelhagem sound-system culture, and the peripheral aesthetics of Pará to national and international circuits of music, television, festivals, and awards.
Gaby Amarantos is a singer, songwriter, television host, and actress from Pará who brought tecnobrega, aparelhagens, and Belém’s Amazonian pop aesthetics to broader audiences in Brazil and abroad. Born in the Jurunas neighborhood, her trajectory includes Banda Tecno Show, the national breakthrough of “Ex Mai Love” in 2012, and works such as Treme, Purakê, TecnoShow, and Rock Doido, in which she blends brega, electronic music, guitarrada, Caribbean references, and exuberant visuality. Alongside names such as Dona Onete, Jaloo, Zaynara, and Viviane Batidão, she helps reposition music from Brazil’s North as a contemporary, urban, and exportable language, connecting the periphery, the Amazon, popular festivity, and the cultural industry. The Latin Grammy awarded to TecnoShow and her presence in festivals and international coverage reinforce a circulation that turns Belém and Pará into active centers of Brazilian musical imagination.
