Biography

Amanda Bravo is a Brazilian singer, producer, and businesswoman, born in Rio de Janeiro on August 15, 1975. The daughter of renowned composer Durval Ferreira, she carries the heritage of Bossa Nova in her DNA, a genre of which her father was one of the creators. Her professional trajectory also led her to work in theater, where she served as an actress, producer, and director.

In 2014, Amanda Bravo took on a fundamental role in the revitalization of Beco das Garrafas, an iconic musical venue in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, which was the stage for major names in Brazilian music during the 1950s and 1960s. At the helm of the production company Beco das Garrafas Produções and Bottle's Bar, she was responsible for bringing back the cultural effervescence of the location, being recognized with the "Prêmio Noite Rio" that same year.

Her musical career is marked by a strong connection to Bossa Nova and Sambalanço, rhythms she celebrates in her performances and production work. Amanda Bravo released her debut CD, "Bossa do Beco", in 2019, the result of years of performances at Beco das Garrafas. The album features the participation of renowned musicians and pays homage to great names of MPB, consolidating her commitment to the preservation and dissemination of Brazilian music.
