This, folks, is a thrill! This fall our Codemakers series of events featuring artist-activists from across the globe includes a trio of intimate performances presented in partnership with downtown Amherst’s very happening nonprofit venue, The Drake. And here comes mind-blowingly talented Brazilian singer-songwriter Bia Ferreira to get things started.
In a season studded with powerful and provocative women’s voices, this is the perfect way to strike up the band. Don’t miss this. Don’t even think about missing this.
Come for Ferreira’s music, which blends elements of R&B, funk, blues, reggae, and folk. Ferreira calls her powerful, captivating, danceable concoction Música de Mulher Preta (Black Woman Music). You’ll call it mood and mind altering. Come for Ferreira’s activism. This is an artist who speaks her truth in lyrics and stage commentary alike, addressing LGBTQ+ activism, anticolonialism, anti-racism, feminism, and a host of other topics. Come to be challenged. Come to be affirmed. Come to be blown away.
