MaZela

MaZela emerges from the search for balance between accepting pain and attempts to reduce it. The project started in 2020 by Maria Roque on vocals and guitar, and is now interlaced with a second guitar by Alexandre Mendes. In November 2024, MaZela released its debut EP, “Desgostos em Canções de Colo”, a work that won over both audiences and critics, opening doors to festivals such as NOS Alive and Vodafone Paredes de Coura, as well as to various theatres and venues across the country. In February 2026, MaZela begins a new release cycle with the launch of “Bordado”, a song about grief, love, and transformation. For the more distracted, it is Maria Roque's voice and guitar that can be heard in “Canção a Zé Mário Branco” on the award-winning album “2 de Abril” by A Garota Não.
