Meta_ – Fuego Sagrado (2023) (single) Meta_ is Mariana Bragada on the quest to find her inner roots. She is a singer, composer and producer from Trás-os-Montes (North Portugal Region) to share the connection between ancestral wisdom and unite it with electronic music.
Meta_ will release her debut album XIV- A Integração in May 2023 with the Argentinian Label ShikaShika, premiering it in Primavera Sound Porto in June. She has been weaving her sound tapestry alongside the trips in Europe, where she did an European Tour, and South America, where she traveled to explore the self and to work for Live Sound in a theater play. She aims to reimagine sound without borders, in between feelings and the story–telling of her hardships and fantasies, creating a hybrid universe of organic and electronic sounds.
