Biography

Silvana & A Máquina do Tempo is a musical project that gained prominence on the Brazilian scene, especially from the mid-1990s onwards. Singer Silvana, born in Minas Gerais, is the driving force behind the group, known for her versatility and for moving across various musical styles, with a strong inclination toward pop and electronic music.

The group released the album "A Máquina do Tempo" in 1995, a work that blends influences of synth-pop, dance-pop, R&B/swing, downtempo, and house, demonstrating the project's sonic breadth. Songs like "Só Quero Dançar" and "Coisas da Vida" (the latter featuring a reference to the work of Rita Lee) made their presence felt on this record, which was produced by A&F Estudio and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment (Brazil). The band also explored remixes, as in the case of the track "Vem Viver Pra Mim", which received a Hotaru edition in 2020.

Silvana, the vocalist, is recognized for her energetic performance and her ability to reinvent herself. She has participated in music festivals since the 1980s and has performed in diverse settings, ranging from small bars to large events with significant audiences. Her solo career and her work with the band "A Máquina do Tempo" have consolidated her as a multifaceted artist who moves between pop, 80s and 90s flashbacks, and other rhythms, always with a proposal for entertainment and musical quality.
