“I am a body, a being, just one body, that has color, hurt, and holds within it, the story of where I am from,” sings Luedji Luna in her 2017 anthem “Um corpo no mundo.” Navigating her place in the world as a Black Brazilian woman through song, she weaves together Afro-Brazilian rhythms and genres, like samba and afoxé, with international styles of the Black diaspora including jazz and R&B to create a prismatic sound world that goes beyond any singular identity or genre. Come hear this Latin GRAMMY-nominated artist as she opens hearts and expands minds while reminding us all how connected the world truly is.
