AmaliaB

Belgrade, Serbia

Amália began her musical career in Brussels in the 90s, but it was in the Balkans where she has been living since 2003 that her music took off. In Tirana she worked with Albanian pianist Gent Rushi and met Italian jazz guitarist Guido Di Leone, with whom she recorded her first album "Mulheres" released in 2010. With arrangements by pianist Bruno Montrone, "Mulheres" proposes a poetic digression on women through Brazilian popular music. Later that same year, she started an extensive correspondence with Brazilian guitarist, composer, arranger and producer, Roberto Menescal, one of the icons of the Bossa Nova movement, leading her to recording a tribute to Menescal in 2012. The album "Menescantando" features a fine international band and Menescal himself who guests on two tracks. 2015 marks the launch of Amália's 3rd album "3 Mundus", inspired by 3 musical worlds connected by 3 guitarists, and it is indeed the sound of the guitar the protagonist creating the path for Amalia's voice.
