Experience Heloisa Amaral

Heloisa Amaral is a Brazilian guitarist, composer, and arranger renowned for her innovative blend of Brazilian popular music (MPB), jazz, and classical influences. Born in Rio de Janeiro, she began formal musical training at age seven, initially focusing on classical guitar before expanding her interests. Amaral gained prominence as a member of the acclaimed instrumental group, Barbatuques, contributing significantly to their unique percussive and vocal arrangements from 1993-2006.

Following her time with Barbatuques, she launched a successful solo career marked by critically lauded albums like “Heloísa Amaral” (2008), “Coisas de Vir” (2012), and “Alma Brasileira” (2018). Her compositions often feature intricate guitar work alongside sophisticated harmonies and lyrical themes exploring Brazilian identity and culture.

Amaral’s arrangements have been featured in film soundtracks ("Lula, o Filho do Brasil") and she frequently collaborates with prominent Brazilian artists. She is celebrated for pushing boundaries within MPB while remaining deeply rooted in its traditions. A respected educator, Amaral also conducts workshops and masterclasses internationally, sharing her expertise in Brazilian music and guitar technique.
