About / Biography

INAH Project is a captivating musical experience that blends Brazilian Jazz, World Music, and Lusophone rhythms, offering an authentic and elegant sound that moves between sophistication and soul.

Led by INAH, a singer and composer based in Porto, Portugal, the project celebrates musical diversity and emotional expression through unique arrangements and performances that connect cultures and people.

The project adapts to different formats — from intimate duos and trios to a full band setup — perfect for concerts, festivals, weddings, and corporate events. Each performance is carefully designed to transform any space into an immersive, emotional experience.

INAH’s musical journey intertwines influences from several of her artistic projects:

Entre Sotaques, a dialogue between Brazil, Portugal, and Africa that celebrates language, rhythm, and connection.

Tanto Bate Até Que… Samba, a powerful and joyful female-led samba circle.

GrooveIn, a fresh and dynamic project that merges jazz, soul, and funk with a modern groove.


Every show by INAH Project is a journey through rhythm, emotion, and authenticity — where each song tells a story and every note brings people together.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Our technical requirements depend on the lineup and venue size.
For most performances, we require:

A performance area of at least 4m x 3m for smaller lineups (duo/trio), or 8m x 5m for full band setups.

2 to 3 power sockets (230V) for instruments, amplifiers, and lighting.

Access to a basic sound system (PA) with 4 to 8 XLR inputs, unless we provide our own.

3 to 7 microphones and DI boxes, depending on the chosen formation.

Monitors or a small stage wedge system.

3 to 7 chairs or stools, depending on the performance setup.

Parking and easy access for instrument unloading.


We can also provide our own sound system and technician if required, for an additional fee.


What information do you require about a venue?

We would need to know:

The exact location and directions for loading/unloading equipment, as well as parking availability for our team.

Whether the venue has a sound system available (and its technical specifications).

If there is a sound limiter or any volume restrictions we should be aware of.

The size and layout of the performance area, including access to power outlets.

Whether there is a covered area or stage (for outdoor events).

Information about setup and soundcheck times, and performance schedule.

If there are any special requirements or restrictions specific to the venue.


This information helps us adapt the lineup and equipment to guarantee the best possible performance experience.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We can provide our own sound equipment, depending on the location and type of event.
However, when performances take place outside of Portugal, the cost will increase to cover logistics and transport.

Whenever possible, we prefer to use the venue’s existing sound and lighting system, as it helps optimize setup time and overall production quality.

Our priority is always to ensure the best sound experience, whether using our own equipment or the venue’s system.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, of course! We’re happy to provide Spotify playlists or background music before, after, and between our sets — either curated by us to match the atmosphere, or using the client’s chosen selections.

If preferred, we can also include a live DJ, adding a dynamic and seamless flow to the event.
This service can be arranged upon request and will increase the total cost accordingly.

Our goal is always to create a complete and engaging musical experience, perfectly adapted to each event.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Each show has its own particular charm — every stage brings a new story, a new energy, and a unique connection with the audience. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to perform on beautiful stages and festivals both in Portugal and Brazil, each one teaching and inspiring me in different ways.

However, one of the most special and memorable moments of my career was opening the concert for Daniela Mercury. Sharing that stage and energy was truly unforgettable and marked a turning point in my musical journey.


What's your favourite type of event?

I truly enjoy performing at live music venues and festivals — there’s something magical about feeling the energy of the crowd and the spontaneity of the moment.

That said, corporate events and weddings are also incredibly fun to perform at, because the main goal is always the same: to bring joy, get everyone dancing, and make people feel happy and connected through music.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

My artistic journey actually began through acting and theatre. Over time, I started a personal study and creative lab on my own — exploring what truly moved me and what I wanted to express.

That’s when I discovered that music was my deepest passion. I began experimenting, playing, singing, and soon started performing live. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to perform on many stages and festivals, sharing my voice and stories with different audiences.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I could name a long list of artists who have inspired me, but the ones who have truly touched my soul and shaped my art are Lauryn Hill, Sara Tavares, Mayra Andrade, and Djavan.

Instead of mentioning a single song, I’d rather highlight an album that changed my perspective completely — “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”. It’s timeless, deeply emotional, and still takes me on an inner journey every time I listen to it.


What makes your music and performance unique?

My performances are a fusion of Brazilian Jazz, Soul, World Music and Samba, always driven by emotion and connection. Each show is an authentic experience — warm, joyful and deeply musical. I love creating moments that bring people together through rhythm, energy and sensitivity.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We usually arrive about 2 hours before the show to set up and sound check. Our typical format is 2 sets of 45 to 60 minutes, but it always depends on the atmosphere and the audience. Sometimes the energy is so special that we just keep going a little longer — it’s all about feeling the moment.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we’re absolutely happy to perform outdoors — in fact, some of our most beautiful moments have happened in open-air settings, surrounded by nature and people.
We just ask for a flat and safe surface, shade or cover in case of strong sun or rain, and access to a nearby power supply to ensure the best performance quality.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We usually perform our own repertoire, carefully curated to create the best atmosphere for each event.
However, we’re always happy for the client to choose 3 to 4 songs in advance. If these are not part of our usual set, this gives us enough time to prepare and present them with the same quality and emotion as the rest of our music.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe our performances as emotional, captivating, and full of energy.
Each show has its own dynamic moments — some that make people feel deeply, fall in love, or get up and dance; others that invite the audience to simply enjoy good music and atmosphere.
We always receive wonderful feedback about the connection we create and the quality and authenticity of our music.
