Aline Paes is a voice born in Rio de Janeiro that expands into the world. From an early age, she drew attention for her expressive strength and luminous presence: in 2010, she won the Divas of Brazilian Music Award, celebrating masters such as Ademilde Fonseca, Alaíde Costa and Dóris Monteiro, with a jury composed of renowned figures including Sérgio Cabral, Ná Ozzetti and Charles Gavin.
Her first solo show, Noite Aberta (“Open Night”), premiered in 2009 and already revealed her artistic signature: a passion for Brazilian song, openness to new paths and the gentle courage to forge her own way. Soon after, she took part in the project Mulheres que Cantam and immersed herself in collaborations that broadened her musical range.
In 2012, she debuted her duo with guitarist André Siqueira, interpreting the inventive universe of Thiago Amud in the show De Lendas e Barcos. That same year, she brought her music to New York and Philadelphia, sharing the stage with Brazilian and international artists such as Carlos Malta and Pandeiro Repique Duo.
Aline’s creative restlessness blossomed once again in 2015, when she conceived Ofusca – Musical Vehicle, transforming her 1974 VW Beetle into an itinerant stage that traveled through Rio de Janeiro democratizing music, occupying streets, squares and different neighborhoods with free performances.
Also in 2015, she released her debut album, Batucada Canção (Biscoito Fino), selected as a “Revelation” by Rolling Stone Brazil and praised by critics such as Mauro Ferreira and Leonardo Lichote. The tour reached major Brazilian capitals and extended to Lisbon, Porto, Amarante and the Embassy of Brazil in London.
At the end of 2017, she presented Atlantnia, a dance-infused dive into the routes of the Atlantic — a living encounter between Brazil, Portugal, Cape Verde, Angola, Cuba and Jamaica — reinforcing her vocation to connect cultures and histories through song.
In 2019, she joined the Baile do Almeidinha at the invitation of Hamilton de Holanda and created a new duo with multi-instrumentalist Pedro Franco, with whom she develops arrangements that weave ancestry and modernity.
During the pandemic, she kept her creative force active through video series and conversations about art and career, strengthening bonds with both artists and audiences.
In 2021, she launched the OQ VC OUVE? Festival in tribute to Áurea Martins, and released the EP Entre Tempos. In 2022, she released the single and video Ruas Vazias, surpassing 120,000 views within days.
In 2024, she released her second studio album, Corpo Mar, a work that threads together the sounds and affections of the Atlantic, featuring Paulo Flores (Angola), Marina Íris (Brazil) and Aliesky Perez (Cuba). In 2025, she took Corpo Mar on an acclaimed European tour, performing in Portugal, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Italy, winning new audiences and strengthening her international presence. In the same year, she performed the show at the iconic Sesc Pompeia, reaffirming the power of the album and her striking stage presence.
Throughout her career, Aline has collaborated with artists such as Cheikh Lô, Mário Lúcio Souza, Francisco, el Hombre, Paulo Flores, Pietá, Grupo Bongar, Marcos Suzano, Clarice Assad, Nicolas Krassik, Gabriel Grossi, Bondesom, Ordinarius and many others who recognize in her a profound, sensitive and uniquely musical interpreter.
Today, Aline Paes continues to chart her path between seas, rhythms and encounters, establishing herself as one of the most expressive voices of the new Brazilian music scene — an artist who transforms each song into a crossing, each performance into a living territory of poetry, dance and enchantment.
