Biography

Salma e Mac is a Brazilian musical duo formed by Salma Jô and Macloys Aquino. Originally from Goiânia, they gained prominence as members of the alternative rock band Carne Doce, known for their introspective lyrics and striking sound.

In 2021, the couple launched their side project, Salma e Mac, with the EP "Salma e Mac". This work marked a transition to a more acoustic, light, and sensual sound, inspired by bossa nova and MPB. The album "Voo Livre", released in 2022, consolidated this new sound, exploring themes such as relaxation, vacations, and the beach, with minimalist and elegant arrangements.

Salma e Mac's music is characterized by Salma's soft voice and Mac's acoustic guitar arrangements, often enriched by special guest appearances. The duo has collaborated with renowned musicians, such as percussionist Leonardo Reis, who has worked with Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso. The production of their work features names like Alexandre Kassin, known for his work with various Brazilian music artists.
