🌵Thursday, April 25th 2024 🌸 DAY ONE
Official OPENING of THE CONFERENCE:

🍑TASSIA REIS LIVE from Brazil at the Azrieli Studio, NAC

More than just rap: She’s authentic, bold, and has zero tolerance for nonsense.
As a star of Brazilian rap, Tássia Reis has been making waves with hits that capture the highs and lows of life, infused with humour and a rebellious spirit that challenges the status quo. Her musical journey draws from a rich Afro-Brazilian heritage, blending influences from iconic figures like Djavan and Alcione to global sensations like Erykah Badu, Beyoncé, and Rihanna. Recognized as a leading voice in Brazilian rap, Tássia refuses to be confined to one genre, exploring jazz, rap, drill, funk, pop, and samba with equal finesse.
In her ascent, Tássia remains a force of storytelling, commanding attention and leaving an indelible mark. Whether delivering a raw, soft, or sensual message, one thing is clear – Tássia Reis is the boss, and she’s calling the shots.
