After several years of performing in classical music projects, Carla Pontes releases her first solo album entitled "O Mar em Mim"/ "The Sea in Me" which is composed of twelve unpublished themes derived from Portuguese roots. This year, 2022, is the year in which the singer presents her narrative of emotions and nostalgia in a neo-fadista aesthetic with several world music accents and a contemporary touch with electronic elements. Meanwhile, a mixture of classical instruments, such as the piano and cello, continue to be present.

The SEA is the central poetic element of the record - the embarkation and disembarkation of stories and destinations in a sonorous sea that takes us and brings us back, curled by the foam of crystalline dreams…
