Latin, jazz, funk, and folk music come together on Marbrisa’s debut solo record, Ciclos. Not unlike the transportive work of Brazilian sonic chameleon Seu Jorge or New York’s foot-stomping gypsy punks Gogol Bordello, Marbrisa also masters the art of fusing the traditional with the contemporary. '

- Jerilyn Jordan (Detroit MetroTimes)
The Detroit bred singer-songwriter started her musical journey in Latin America. As a musical embodiment of her surroundings, she writes music that blends Latin, Jazz, RnB and folk. She released her second album, Ciclos, in 2019 with some of Detroit's most notable musicians; including Sean Blackman, Ron Otis (Aretha Franklin, KEM), James Simonson (Bettye Lavette) and hip hop artist Mahogany Jones. This album helped her to win a Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Songwriter in world music. She has toured through Central America, including performances in Mexico City's jazz clubs, and Cuba's Casa de la Trova. Her recent move to New Orleans 2 years ago allowed her to launch her monthly all female composer event, called Queens of the Song Age. Being in one of the most musical cities of the world has been a pivotal influence to her music career, as she performs full time in clubs such as 3090 and Royal Frenchman Hotel. She plans to record an album here this fall.
