On her first visit to Bristol and the UK, Nina Maia brings her debut album I N T E I R A, released digitally by Seloki Records in Brazil in 2024, but presented by Mr Bongo in partnership with Seloki Records with a new, deluxe worldwide edition in 2025 that includes four additional songs. For this performance, Nina (voice and electric piano) will be joined by longtime collaborator and producer Yann Dardenne (electric guitar) and cellist Francisca Barreto.

ABOUT NINA MAIA Nina Maia is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer recognised for merging MPB, jazz, and indie pop. Nina has already collaborated on the soundtracks for six Brazilian feature films, including a track with the vocalists Maria Gadú, Iza, and Liniker. Her debut album, I N T E I R A (2024), garnered critical praise and earned a nomination for “Breakthrough Artist” at the APCA Awards.

As much inspired by Billie Eilish and Rosalía, as Milton Nascimento and Toninho Horta, and not sounding like other records coming out of Brazil, 'INTEIRA' (which translates to English as 'whole') is unique. Though rich in its Brazilian heritage, inspired by samba canção, MPB, and the Clube da Esquina movement, it also channels influence from bands such as Portishead and Massive Attack, mixing with jazz, contemporary leftfield and electronic pop artists.

In 2026, she performed at Lollapalooza Brazil, one of Latin America's premier music festivals.
