Amália Baraona grew up in Brazil and her music inspiration and influences come from Bossa Nova and Brazilian popular music. Amália has lived in the Balkans for the last 2 decades, connecting musicians around her with the richness of Brazilian music.
She recorded her first album "Mulheres" in 2010 proposing a poetic digression on women through Brazilian popular music. In 2012, her 2nd album "Menescantando", a tribute to Roberto Menescal, features Menescal himself as a guest on two tracks.
2015 marks the launch of Amália's 3rd album "3 Mundus", inspired by three musical worlds connected by three guitarists, and it is the sound of the guitar the protagonist creating effectively the path for Amália's voice. "Everyday a Little Love", the 4th album, is focused on the compositions of João Donato, featuring musicians from Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania and Brazil. Amália's latest project, "The Bari Sessions", promotes musical encounters around Brazilian songs with Italian jazz musicia
