The Brazilian born singer-songwriter CEUMAR creates her own music since 1995, from the moment she arrived in São Paulo. She already produced four own albums and participates actively in varied projects and collectives in Brazil and abroad.
Brazil
In the last five years she has performed in Curitiba (Paiol, Guairinha), Itajaí - SC (Festival de Inverno), Porto Alegre (Santander Cultural), Campinas, Rio de Janeiro (projeto Novo Canto, projeto Bolsa Nova), Belém (SESC DOCA), São Luís (Circo da Cidade), Ceará (BNB Clube de Fortaleza e SESC Crato), Brasília (CCBB, Feitiço Mineiro), Belo Horizonte (TIM Mov. Perc -2005) and in São Paulo - capital and countryside.

In 2005 she took part of the Projeto Pixinguinha in a tour for eight cities up to the North/Central regions of Brazil. She was also present in Festival Cultura promoted by Cultura TV Channel, with the song "ACHOU!", by Dante Ozzetti and Luiz Tatit getting the second prize with that performance.

Europe
Since 2006 she has been performing in the Netherlands and Belgium with the Mike Del Ferro Trio. In the period between October 2006 and February 2009 they have been performing a lot in Holland and Belgium. Highlights were the shows at the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Tropentheater Amsterdam and several performances for National Dutch TV (Vrije Geluiden - VPRO) and National Radio 5 / 6. In 2009 Ceumar will release a live recorded cd with this trio. Style: Brazilian & Jazz.

Since 2008 Ceumar also performs with an international cross-cultural group called Kokoura. We can say that Burkina Faso meets Senegal in Europe and Brazil! This band is influenced by soul, samba, desert blues and traditional African music and blends all these flavors into a delicate and warm sound.

Ceumar and the brothers Moussa and Adama Dembélé from Burkina Faso add their voices to this unique sounding group from three continents.

Ceumar -as a solo-artist- also performed in France, London, Portugal,(Lisboa) and Spain (occasionally accompanied by saxophonist Ben Mendes).

Central America
Ceumar performed in Mexico with Dante Ozzetti and group and in September 2007, she participated in Festival de La Musica Viva de VIC - BARCELONA. Yet in 2007 she performed in the Festival Internacional da Lusofonia "Cantos na Maré", em Pontevedra-Galícia. In 2008, she already presented "ACHOU!" nine times at SESC SP together with Dante Ozzetti and Group.
