It’s not the first award Karen Aguiar has shared. In 2014, she was awarded in Paris by Portaildu Brèsilen France with her first album Arraial do Mundo, which was named the best album by MPB in the French capital that year. In 2016, the singer was a finalist for the National Award, Music Professionals, in the Best MPB Female Singer category with her second album, “Organic.”

For the artist, the feeling amidst many confessions is one of great gratitude to God. “Being a musician is a profession of faith,” a friend once told me, and he was absolutely right, because the difficulties are overwhelming. Immediately, I think of a huge love for my family and everyone who has supported me throughout these years of my career, both on and off social networks. And I cannot forget Never my musical partners spread across the Amazon, across different regions of Brazil, Europe and the United States, who believed in the potential of Jungle Jazz,” he said.

Karen also thanks the journalists who have always welcomed her work with great respect. And last but not least, he thanks the positive public policies of culture that have funded his productions through public notifications issued by the City of Manaus and the Government of Amazonas, with their respective Secretariats of Culture.

When the artist was asked about her projects for 2023, she indicated that the first of them would be to hand over the award for “Best Brazilian Singer in the World” to Amazonas. Karen asserts that many are seen on the south, southeast, and even northeast axis, but the north still has little representation at the national and international levels.

“I want to be able to fill that niche by doing a good job and, who knows, paving the way for other Amazonian artists to establish themselves with their productions in a global context. When one of us wins, we all win and people start looking at us more,” he stressed.

The singer explained that she is working on presenting a new album in the last quarter of this year. In addition, there are shows in Europe that will be announced soon.
