Carolina Viana made her name in Redoma, a duo from Porto with a rap sound and a deconstructed, poetic rhythm, which she formed with producer Joana Rodrigues. In 2023, she took a solo step out of the dome in search of an individual language. She takes on the artistic persona of Malva, the name given to flowers that accelerate wound healing, and releases her first single ‘extremidades’. The debut, under her own name, portrays the limits of the body and soul and the conscious and unconscious excesses of these limitations, through a raw and visceral sound. After ‘extremidades’, she collaborated with INÊS APENAS on the track ‘Tensa’, written by both of them and produced by Joana Rodrigues, which was directly included in EQUAL Global, Spotify’s editorial playlist. Malva is now releasing her first album, ‘vens ou ficas’, which includes the singles ‘extremidades’, ‘como se início’ and ‘manhã’.
