Kuara

Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, singer-songwriter and composer Kuara discovered her love for music early in life, inspired by her father’s violin playing and the lively rhythms of Bossa Nova, Brazilian jazz, and Samba. Her name, meaning "Sun" in Tupi Guarani, pays tribute to her great-grandmother and reflects the warmth and energy she infuses into her music.

Kuara’s musical journey began with the piano and expanded to playing the organ and singing in church. Her departure from the church, due to her refusal to conform to its doctrines, helped shape her bold and independent spirit.

Now based in Dublin, Kuara has just released her first single, Brand New Day, available on various platforms. Her music blends original piano-led compositions with rich Brazilian percussion and soul influences, with her cultural roots reflected in her voice. Her soulful, emotionally expressive vocals captivate listeners with their depth and warmth.

While balancing her music career with life's responsibilities, Kuara remains dedicated to her craft, continuously seeking harmony in all aspects of her life.

Kuara has performed at notable Dublin venues including The Workman’s Club, The Grand Social, The International Bar, and more. Her lyrics explore themes of love, self-worth, toxic relationships, and social justice, including women’s rights and freedom of expression.
