Tami Braga releases “Boemia”, a contemporary Bossa Nova that celebrates Rio and marks a new artistic phase.
Singer Tami Braga presents her new single, “Boemia”, this Friday, 21. The song arrives as the lead track of her new musical project and blends sophistication, lightness and the spirit of Bossa Nova in a contemporary approach. The track is available at: onerpm.link/314146486346.
Written by Alberto Araújo, her uncle and early collaborator, “Boemia” is described as an emotional gift. Production is by Tiago Xavier, who also performs piano and mixing, joined by Jefferson Brum on guitar and percussion. Mastering is by Fernando Delgado, a two-time Latin Grammy winner.
The song celebrates life, freedom and the beauty of Rio de Janeiro. For Tami, it represents an artistic and emotional return to her roots. “The single Boemia was a gift. It is how I can visit my place, my origin, my country. I live in Norway, but my heart belongs to Rio, and through my singing I am there,” she says.
A portrait of Rio in song form
The purpose of “Boemia” is to transport listeners through a musical journey across Rio’s charm. The track combines warmth, poetry and softness to highlight the city’s romantic and bohemian essence.
According to Tami, the song was made to move people. “This song was born to touch hearts, create memories and immortalize feelings. Boemia will become the soundtrack of millions of lives,” she says.
Choosing Bossa Nova as the musical foundation reinforces her identity. Tami explains that she carries the genre within her and sees in it an opportunity to connect her Brazilian roots to the world. “The idea of this new project is to present something truly ours, a Brazilian sound, and connect it globally,” she adds.

A journey shaped by resilience
Born in Rio and now living in Norway, Tami Braga has built a path marked by resilience and reinvention. A young mother and immigrant, she found in music her primary means of expression and healing. “Art has always been my bridge back to myself, and my music carries these experiences with truth and soul,” she says.
Music has been present since childhood as a refuge. Her professional path began with performances at events and bars until she embraced her artistic and authorial identity. Today she blends influences ranging from Elis Regina, Maria Bethânia and Alcione to Amy Winehouse, Beyoncé and Lauryn Hill.
This blend shaped her unique sound, combining Brazilian music with soul, pop and contemporary elements. “My music comes from many sources. I like mixing the ancestral with the modern, samba with pop, soul with bossa,” she notes.
Connecting roots and future
The release of “Boemia” marks a new moment in her career, reinforcing her connection to Brazilian roots while embracing the versatility of her international journey.
The single joins previous works such as “Europe” and “Deixa Chover”, which showcased different facets of her voice in R&B and pop. Now, she introduces a project that reflects artistic maturity and brings Bossa Nova to new audiences.
More than a song, “Boemia” invites listeners to experience life with intensity, beauty and poetry. “Boemia is a musical postcard of Rio de Janeiro in its most beautiful form. Everything is there, with a unique energy and a scenery that is living poetry,” she says.
