Gringa Music

Gringa is a San Francisco/Oakland -based band that weaves infectious rhythms from Brazil and the Americas through catchy hooks, tasty harmonies, and sassy songwriting, creating a unique sound that uplifts and inspires listeners while dissolving cultural barriers and transcending the status quo.  Originally formed in 2013 as a trio, Gringa continues to grow as a network of female and genderqueer musicians with deep respect for Brazilian influences and original songwriting.

Gringa excites audiences with their own brand of playful and thought-provoking original songs in English and Portuguese, as well as unique, genre-bending covers of a range of classics.  By mixing Brazilian (samba, forró, maracatu), Latin, funk, rock, and reggae grooves, with elements of jazz, pop, and hip hop, Gringa has developed an all-inclusive party-in-a-box live show that seduces listeners into a tropical vacation on the dancefloor.
