MARI MERENDA is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, musical producer and multi-instrumentalist.
On her first visit to Liverpool and the UK, the rising singer-songwriter brings her live performance with music from ‘Reverbero’ (her latest EP). With an expressive voice and a magnetic stage presence, Mari breathes new life into contemporary Brazilian music.
As a multi-instrumentalist and singer, Mari will be playing the piano and the asalato (a traditional West African percussion and rhythm instrument). She will be performing with Guilherme Monteiro (bass, guitar & vocals).
Her videos playing asalato turned her into a worldwide reference on the instrument, a teacher and a pioneer. She also developed her own musical notation system for the instrument with symbols called ‘Método das Esferas’ (Sphere Method). Her first album ‘Crônica’ (2022) was self-produced and recorded in her room. On her new EP ‘Reverbero’ (2025), Mari went viral with her original song ‘Bote no Lugar’.
