PLAYlist Concert Series 2025: Bia Ferreira

Join us for an unforgettable night of music with Bia Ferreira! A singer, songwriter, and activist, Bia defines her music as MMP: Música de Mulher Preta (Black Woman Music). She broke into public consciousness in 2017 with the powerful track Cota Não é Esmola, advocating for the quota system that ensures Black students have access to higher education. Her music fuses funk, reggae, and soul grooves with thought-provoking messages, making her a powerful voice in contemporary music and social movements.
