Join Top Brazilian Artists for a Historic Concert Dedicated to the Late Icon Marlia Mendona

As the most-listened-to Brazilian artist ever on Spotify, and the first to reach 10 billion streams, the late Mar lia Mendon a is a revered figure across the nation. Known as the queen of suffering for her soulful brand of m sica sertaneja-a popular genre of Brazilian country music-her powerful voice and emotional storytelling resonated deeply with millions of listeners and ushered in a new era for women artists in Brazil. But her reign was tragically cut short in 2021 when she died in a plane crash at the age of 26.

I am very happy to see Mar lia be celebrated in this way, said Dona Ruth, Mar lia's mother. Her life was incredible, and her legacy shows how important she is and will always be to Brazilian music. Being able to celebrate her life and music in an event planned by us, as a family, and by Spotify, knowing that we will provide her fans with the opportunity to listen to her songs live again, moves me and makes me even happier.
