Feminina

Joyce
1980 · Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
MPB / Brazilian Groove

Joyce's guitar playing and vocal delivery carry the whole record — the arrangements are light but never thin, and her voice has a directness that keeps things grounded. The percussion is well-integrated rather than decorative, and the rhythm feels conversational rather than locked-in tight. This sits in the Brazilian groove tradition without feeling like a genre exercise. A confident and personal record.
