Maria Inês, aka DJ Marinês, is a Portuguese-born DJ and vinyl collector based in Turin, recognized as a key figure in the city’s Brazilian music scene. She discovered a deep connection to Northeast Brazil’s culture through Forró dance — a passion that soon grew into DJing inspired by the rhythms, soul, and rich tradition of música popular brasileira (MPB).
Since 2022, she has been the resident DJ for Forró di Torino, also serving as vice-president of the cultural association. Her latest project, Jurema, is a vibrant journey through Brazilian culture and electronic music. It blends different Brazilian genres such as Baile Funk, traditional and popular rhythms like Candomblé and Capoeira, with electronic sounds and other ethnic grooves.
With deep roots in Brazil’s musical heritage, she brings vibrant rhythms and fresh energy to every performance.
