Zé Ibarra is redefining Brazilian music with a bold, cinematic sound.
On his second solo album, AFIM, he blends MPB, jazz, and pop into intense, visually striking soundscapes where every note unfolds like a moving painting.
A multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, Zé first gained acclaim as the voice and pianist of Rio’s band Dônica, winning the Prêmio da Música Brasileira, and later co-founded the Latin Grammy-winning group Bala Desejo.
