“I want to help people through my music,” says Majur, “to cultivate a sense of togetherness, safeness and vulnerability in our community.” Identity and faith have always shaped Majur’s music. Blending notes of pop, R&B and Afropop, she’s fast becoming a rising star in Brazil. Nominated for a Latin Grammy earlier this year, we managed to speak right after pre-recording her performance for Afropunk Festival, which took place at the end of November.
