Bossa Nova rhythms, trap, rap and reggaeton all go into Bianca Costa’s musical palette, and the results have got her tens of millions of streams. As the artist releases her first full-length album, “Gringa”, she joins us to talk about making peace with her Brazilian and French identity, singing in two languages and drawing on very diverse musical traditions. We also talk about the strong female artists like Diam’s, Sia and Chaka Khan who’ve inspired Bianca and crossed her professional path, and we discuss the juxtaposition of religious values and sensuality which marked her formative years.
