In the vibrant world of contemporary music, few artists can claim the ability to fuse cultures, genres, and eras as seamlessly as Brazilian-Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JER. Drawing from the psychedelic grooves of the late 1960s Tropicalia movement, the hypnotic rhythms of Northeast Brazil, and the distinctive flair of Canada’s indie music scene, JER has crafted an eclectic sound that challenges and expands the conventional boundaries of traditional Brazilian music. Her sonic palette is a tapestry of influences, woven with innovation and a deep respect for her cultural heritage, creating a blend that is as dynamic as it is soulful.
