Tamy Duarte Macedo, widely known as Tamy, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist born in Vitória, Espírito Santo, on May 10, 1979. She began her artistic career in 2001, performing in her hometown. Her debut album, "Soul mais Bossa," was released in 2004 and distributed both in Brazil and internationally, reaching markets in Ukraine and Japan. Her music has also been featured in popular media, with the song "Eu Tô com Você" included in the film "A Onda da Vida" and "Vem Ver" becoming the theme song for the character Dora in the Rede Globo telenovela "Viver a Vida."

In 2012, Tamy relocated to Montevideo, Uruguay, seeking to immerse herself in the local culture.

The album featured songs in Spanish, incorporated Uruguayan popular repertoire, and showcased influences of the African rhythm candombe. Her discography also includes albums such as "Tamy" (2009) and "Caieira" (2013).

Tamy's musical style is primarily rooted in MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), but also incorporates elements of bossa nova, pop, and candombe, reflecting her diverse influences and experiences.
