Carla Alexandar, from Rio de Janeiro, became internationally recognized after releasing her album SAMBAMUFFIN. She presents her one style mixing brazilian popular music in her lyrics and rimes, reproducing sounds from all over the world, from MPB, Hip Hop and Samba, using a big diversity of music as Brazilian capoeira.

In 2000 the singer left Rio de Janeiro and started to live in Denmark, where she started to know new and different musical styles and also living in other cultures of the world. With humility and melody in Carla's voice, she begins her own work with Danish musicians, developing at the same time connections with musicians and artists from other Europe countries. As a result she releases her album SAMBAMUFFIN.

The name SAMBAMUFFIN it's an analogy to Jamaican ragamuffin, as something born out of inspirations and elements from African music, of all the rhythm that comes out of a people's culture and subculture, of music globalization as it breaks frontiers, talking about personal and global subjects, like peace, special places, art and feelings. From these we have an incredible sonority that mixes all kind of different cultures.

Produced by DJ Schack from Denmark, and having guests from all over the world like LadybugMecca from Digable Planets (USA), DJ Dalua (Brazil), Pete Locket (England-India), this album was very well accepted by the critics, and it has already been licensed in Japan, Singapura and Russia, and released in Europe and USA. SAMBAMUFFIN it's a work of worldly projection written and singed by Carla Alexandar in Portuguese, a language of wonderful sonority, that bounds several nations.

Carla Alexandar had academic and professional training in the world of arts. She participated as an actress in the movie "Veja esta Cancao" (Caca Diegues) and she lent her voice to several names of MPB as Daude and Jorge Benjor.

Carla started her 2007 tour in May in USA, New York City. In the beginning of June she went back to Europe where she will perform in Denmark, United Kingdom, France, Russia, Portugal and Spain until the end of the European summer. After that she will go to Brazil to present her album in the main capital cities.
