Yzalú

Luiza Yara Lopes Silva (September 8, 1982), better known as Yzalú, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist. She drew attention when interpreting the song "Mulheres Negras". With the participation of the rapper Eduardo, evidencing the reality of the women in Brazil, the music became symbol of the black feminism in the country.

In 2003, Yzalú began performing in bars and ballads in São Paulo interpreting MPB's hits. She was invited to join the female rap group of São Bernardo do Campo Essência Black, formed by Regiane Oliveira and Elisângela Oliveira, starting to perform in theaters in the city, partnering with other artists in the region, such as hip hop group Ordem Própria. She studied marketing at the Methodist University and in 2008 decided to return to music motivated by her brother who influenced the idea of making some homemade videos in the staircase of Jardim Farina neighborhood of her hometown singing classic Brazilian hip hop.

In 2016, Yzalú released her first CD titled, "Minha Bossa É Treta", produced by Marcelo Sanches, the album transits in MPB, Samba, Jazz and Bossa Nova.

In 2016, in a presentation at Sesc in São Paulo, she sang a song "Figura Difícil" with the name of rapper Sabotage. The song was released on the newly released album.
