Flavia Bittencourt, native from Sao Luis do Maranhao Northeast of Brazil, makes her UK debut at a night hosted by Shakti Women on Saturday, September 17th at The Edge, Digbeth, as part of Espirito Brum Festival 2011. Having rocketed to national fame in Brazil when one of her songs was picked up by a soap opera viewed at its height by 950,000 people, Flavia has toured Europe, through Portugal, France and Italy, and has taken her original interpretations of traditional Brazilian folk music as far afield as Angola.
She remains an independent artist with a very strong sense of identity, not to mention a beautiful voice.
