Biah Vasconcellos - Tensamba 2026

Biah Vasconcellos is a Brazilian singer born in Rio de Janeiro, trained in piano and violin. Her music fuses samba, choro, bossa nova, MPB, African rhythms, and world music into a contemporary, sensitive, and magnetic sound. The programme for the 23rd edition of the Tensamba Festival includes exhibitions, workshops, talks, literature, fashion, and a range of activities connected to culture and contemporary creation. Planned events include a new edition of Encuentro Voces de Mujer, the Roda de Samba, jiu-jitsu and capoeira demonstrations, jam sessions, and various educational and outreach activities. More information about the artists can be found on their own website [Content extracted from lagenda.org] and on their social media profiles. Tensamba, sponsored by the Gobierno de Canarias through Promotur Islas Canarias and ICDC, the Cabildo de Tenerife, and the Ayuntamiento de La Laguna, has built over its 23 editions a permanent space for exchange between artists, creators, and audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. Since its beginnings, the festival has welcomed performers and projects from different generations and genres, progressively expanding its programme to make music the starting point for a much broader encounter with Brazilian culture.
