Biography

Suzana Salles is a renowned Brazilian singer who stood out as one of the important voices linked to the Vanguarda Paulista cultural movement.

Throughout her career, Salles has also collaborated with other major names on the São Paulo scene, such as Itamar Assumpção, and consolidated her name as a versatile interpreter, being acclaimed for her interpretations of the work of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
