Biography

Patrícia Christiane Guedes Bastos was born in Macapá on April 18, 1970, in a home strongly influenced by art. The daughter of singer Oneide Bastos and educator José de Sena Bastos, she grew up surrounded by exponents of traditional music from Amapá and began her artistic journey by participating in children's festivals and joining the Vozes do Amapá choir, later studying at the Walkíria Lima Conservatory.

The recognition of her original work and refined interpretation came with striking albums such as Zulusa, released in 2013, which earned her important trophies at the Brazilian Music Award, and Batom Bacaba, from 2016, a work that deeply engages with the Amazonian sounds of marabaixo and batuque and received a Latin Grammy nomination. Throughout her career, Patrícia has shared the stage and collaborated with several fundamental names in MPB, such as Lô Borges and Nilson Chaves.

Standing out for her smooth timbre and impeccable pitch, the singer and songwriter continues to expand the borders of northern music. She made history by becoming the first artist from Amapá to perform on the Rock in Rio stage, cementing her name among the great interpreters of contemporary Brazilian culture.
