Different from her former rather Pop-influenced albums, on „Amazonia“ she returns to a rather acoustic way of producing, with the classic brazilian voice-guitar-percussion trio as the heart of the band, completed by a luxurious string quartet with some of her family members who play in famous orchestras like the Vienna Philharmonic, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields or the Stuttgart chamber orchestra. Nils Wülker signs with 3 remixes that unique reduced, pulsing way of producing, full of space and well-thought electronic-acoustic accents, creating an equally sophisticated and catchy sound. Bê Ignacio has been constantly expanding her radius of touring from Europe  around the World since 2008 and, undoubtedly, has become a true world music artist, with her natural and straight singing, and the semi-acoustic show with her more intimate line-up with guitars, samples, percussion and drums. 2020 will mark a return to her Brazilian roots with the new album called „Amazonia“
