Marlui MIRANDA is an accomplished and internationally acknowledged musician with a large curriculum of research and performance on the music of the Indians of Northern Brazil since 1978. Singer, composer, researcher, has studied the musical traditions of the Brazilian Amazon Indians for three decades, and is widely recognized as the consummate performer of Amazon indigenous music. She has interpreted and adapted into a contemporary language chant and songs from many Brazilian Indian nations. She has both appeared with and had her compositions recorded by Gilberto Gil, Nana Vasconcellos, Jack DeJohnette, John Surman and other artists. She has also worked as an advisor for Indian music in related projects like Hector Babenco's film “At Play in the Fields of The Lord”. Miranda moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1971, where she studied classical guitar with Turíbio Santos and other renowned interpreters. After some years, she recorded with Milton Nascimento and Egberto Gismonti, who produced her first LP (Olho d'Água, 1979). Since 1978, she has developed her researches in the Amazon indigenous music, and these studies in ethnomusicological areas have been a vital part of her work. She produced the album Paiter Merewa with songs by the Suruí People from Rondônia, Ponte entre Povos, with songs by the Wayana, Apalai, Katxuyana,Tiriyo and Palikur peoples of Amapa State; and Utapinopona Basamori, by the Tuyuka People of Amazonas State. She was the recipient of several grants, including one from the Guggenheim Foundation and another from the Rockefeller Foundation. After her recording of IHU - Todos Os Sons (1995) was released in the U.S., Austria, Switzerland, and Germany (receiving the German Phono Academy Award in 1996), she received the prestigious Brazilian Cultural Merit Medal (Ministry of Culture, 2002) and The Chico Mendes Award in 2005.On the feature film field, Marlui Miranda worked as music supervisor and soloist for Saul Zaentz/ Hector Babenco’s At Play in the Fields of the Lord and for Luís Alberto Pereira's "Hans Staden" feature film and several documentaries.
