Aline Paes is a voice born in Rio de Janeiro that expands into the world. From an early stage in her career, she drew attention for her interpretative strength and luminous stage presence: in 2010, she won the Brazilian Divas of Music Award, honoring masters such as Ademilde Fonseca, Alaíde Costa, and Dóris Monteiro, with a jury that included Sérgio Cabral, Ná Ozzetti, and Charles Gavin.
​
Her first solo concert, Noite Aberta (2009), already revealed her artistic signature: a deep passion for Brazilian song, openness to new paths, and the delicate courage to carve her own artistic direction. She later joined the project Mulheres que Cantam and engaged in collaborations that broadened her musical language.
​
In 2012, she premiered a duo with guitarist André Siqueira in De Lendas e Barcos, dedicated to the work of Thiago Amud. That same year, she performed in New York and Philadelphia, sharing the stage with artists such as Carlos Malta and Pandeiro Repique Duo.
Her creative restlessness blossomed again in 2015 with Ofusca – Veículo Musical, transforming her 1974 Volkswagen Beetle into a mobile stage that traveled across Rio de Janeiro, offering free performances in streets and public squares.
​
Also in 2015, she released her debut album, Batucada Canção (Biscoito Fino), named “Breakthrough Artist” by Rolling Stone Brasil 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 Brazilian Embassy in London.
​
In 2017, she presented the dance project Atlantnia, a vibrant journey through Atlantic routes — bringing together Brazil, Portugal, Cape Verde, Angola, Cuba, and Jamaica — reinforcing her vocation for connecting cultures through song.
​
In 2019, she joined Baile do Almeidinha at the invitation of Hamilton de Holanda and launched a duo with multi-instrumentalist Pedro Franco, developing arrangements that merge ancestry and contemporaneity.
​
From 2021 onward, she began her research and composition process titled Eu, voz (“I, Voice”), centered on the voice as her primary instrument and on live looping creation. Through layered vocal textures built in real time, she composes new songs on stage, expanding her artistic language and deepening the relationship between body, technology, and improvisation. The project was supported by the public grant Cultura Presente nas Redes, from the State Secretariat of Culture.
​
In 2023, alongside the group Bondesom, she premiered a concert celebrating the work of Gal Costa. At the invitation of the label Biscoito Fino, the show will become an album, scheduled to be recorded and released in 2026.
​
During the pandemic, she remained creatively active through video series and artistic dialogues. In 2021, she launched the festival OQ VC OUVE? in tribute to Áurea Martins, as well as the EP Entre Tempos. In 2022, she released the single and music video Ruas Vazias, surpassing 120,000 views within days.
​
In 2024, she released her second studio album, Corpo Mar, a work that weaves together Atlantic sounds and affections, featuring Paulo Flores (Angola), Marina Íris (Brazil), and Aliesky Perez (Cuba).
​
In 2025, she toured Europe presenting Corpo Mar, performing in Portugal, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. Highlights included appearances at Festival Jardins do Marquês, B.Leza (Lisbon), Brazil Fest Brno (Czech Republic), and the Pepperoncino Jazz Festival (Italy), consolidating her international presence and expanding her dialogue with new audiences. That same year, she performed at the iconic Sesc Pompeia in São Paulo, reaffirming the album’s strength and her magnetic stage presence.
​
Throughout her career, she 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, and Ordinarius, among many others who recognize in her a profound, sensitive interpreter of rare musicality.
​
Today, Aline Paes continues her journey between seas, rhythms, and encounters, establishing herself as one of the most expressive voices of contemporary Brazilian music — an artist who transforms each song into a crossing, and every performance into a living territory of poetry, movement, and enchantment.
