In Inaicyra in 3 Times, the audience experiences a performance featuring three musical references primarily rooted in African heritage across the Americas. The show stems from the creative interpreter’s desire to expand her repertoire, incorporating explorations of other authors and contexts inspired by cultural memory. The performance includes chants from the album Okan Awa (chants in Yoruba and Portuguese that honor ancestors in the Nago/Yoruba terreiros of Brazil, adapted to the lyrical universe by Inaicyra Falcão and Beto Pelegrino); compositions by Babi de Oliveira and Waldemar Henrique (inspired by Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous legends); and Negro Spirituals (chants once sung by enslaved Black people while working in the plantations of the United States). The song themes revolve around elements of nature, Yoruba ancestors, Indigenous legends, and everyday life. The show Inaicyra in 3 Times reveals the singer’s contemporary voice, dialogues with tradition and modernity, values the history of peoples foundational to American societies, and offers the general public the opportunity to appreciate ethno-lyrical singing through the voice of the great Dramatic Soprano Interpreter, Inaicyra Falcão.
