Da Cruz

The ensemble Da Cruz is a collaboration between vocalist Mariana Da Cruz (a Paulista with Bahian roots) and Swiss producer Ane H. Together with their band, they merge Brazilian music, Electro, Afro Beat, Breakbeats, Ethiopian Grooves, Kuduro and other forms of dance music. 

Da Cruz stand for a "modern, curious and proud Brazil", says Mariana. "There are so many boring clichés about my country. With my music I try to show  that there is a Brazil far away from Carnaval, bikinis and samba-plumes – there is also an urban, progressive, open but still romantic Brazil with a sane respect towards its traditions and culture."
