Flora Purim
Meet the artist
A vocalist who participated in Chick Corea’s “Return to Forever”. He brought the expansive singing style of Brazilian music into the context of fusion music. Her expansive voice moves between lyrics and freer vocal expression as an instrument within the band.
Softness around Brazilian rhythms coexists with vivid projection among electric sounds. Exchanges with percussion and keyboards broaden the musical space rather than merely deliver a melody. Solo recordings reveal a range beyond her fusion collaborations, making the meeting of jazz and Brazilian music audible through breath and voice.
Where to start listening
Hear the voice as an instrument in the band as well as a carrier of lyrics. Its blend with percussion and keyboards creates a distinctive sense of suspension.
