Alda Rezende

The Undercurrent presents Alda Rezende!

Alda will bring to the Undercurrent some of Wellington’s finest musicians to present a vibrant tribute to Brazilian black music of the 1970s - the irresistibly groovy, soulful and dance-driven sound that blends samba with North American soul and funk. Expect high-energy rhythms, classic grooves and an uplifting performance that celebrates the enduring spirit of Brazilian soul.

Brazilian-born Alda Rezende is a celebrated singer and a veteran of Wellington’s music scene, known for her rich vocals and deep musical experience across Brazilian, Latin, jazz and classical traditions. Originally from Brazil, Alda has performed alongside legends like Elza Soares and João Bosco and has been a leading voice in Wellington’s jazz and world music communities for many years, including releasing albums and hosting a long-running world music radio show on Radio Active.
