Bio:
Glaucia divide sua vida entre São Paulo, Minas Gerais e viagens pelo Brasil ministrando conferências, atuando em espetáculos, gravando documentários, videoclipes, entre outras atividades artístico-educacionais. Seu lado social também tem grande ressonância na sua personalidade. Fundou com amigos e presidiu a entidade Amparo Maternal Eurípedes Novelino, onde ainda colabora no conselho da instituição. É relações institucionais da Fundação Brasil Meu Amor. Atua em diversos projetos da Fundação no resgate do patrimônio cultural do Brasil e no fomento a novas artes.
A grande força motriz desta mulher é o respeito por todos e o amor incondicional pelo Brasil. A música é seu veículo de expressão, e o empreendedorismo, um talento herdado de gerações é um tributo à ancestralidade. Seu doce olhar para a terra são as fontes de sua poesia na música e de suas atitudes como empresária.
Formada em comércio exterior, atuou em empresas nacionais e internacionais. Sempre dedicada a instituições ligadas ao fomento e profissionalização do comércio e indústria, foi a primeira mulher presidente da Associação Comercial e Industrial de Patos de Minas. Atualmente, também preside o conselho da Terrena, é membro do conselho da Nooa, ambas empresas sediadas em Patos de Minas.
Artista que utiliza de sua arte e irreverência para despertar nos ouvintes o desejo de descobrirem um olhar diferente daquele que normalmente se vê a respeito do Brasil e sua gente. Sua interpretação e presença nos revela a grandiosidade da nossa arte e cultura.
Em 2004 estreia profissionalmente como cantora, lançando diversos álbuns de músicas autorais e releituras. Participou de coletâneas como no “Acústico Brasil” do selo “Putumayo” com a canção “Lábios de Cetim”, escolhida para fazer parte da trilha do filme “The Visitor”, cujo ator principal foi indicado ao Oscar.
Em 2015, lançou o CD “Em Casa” dedicado aos seus conterrâneos e grandes compositores mineiros, com canções ao som da viola, que representam a sua história e origem. Em 2014, grava no Brasil e lança o CD “Talisman” com o percussionista Sammy Figueroa nos Estados Unidos, CD esse recebido com excelentes críticas.
Em 2016, lançou o CD “Vambora” com composições suas com parceiros. Lançou também o CD “Um Lugar”, que contém algumas das canções do espetáculo “Um Reencontro com o Brasil”, um projeto da Fundação Brasil meu Amor, no qual, é solista.
De lá pra cá tem lançado vários CDs e singles do cancioneiro brasileiro como intérprete. O estilo musical de Glaucia Nasser permeia o universo da Música Popular Brasileira e toda a sua poética e ancestralidade como representação potente de arte e cultura. Com um estilo musical genuinamente brasileiro, experimenta toda a diversidade musical desse país de Norte a Sul, redescobrindo nuances de sons e cores, cheiros e aromas dessa arte tão ampla, vibrante e única na sua diversidade.
“Estudei ouvindo Elis, Gal, Bethânia, Clara Nunes e algumas cantoras internacionais como Edith Piaf e Barbra Streisand. O que sempre me chamou atenção foi a forma como elas nos revelam sentimentos no cantar”, explica a artista.
English:
Glaucia divides her life between São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and travels throughout Brazil giving lectures, performing in shows, recording documentaries, music videos, among other artistic and educational activities. Her social side also resonates strongly in her personality. She founded and chaired the Amparo Maternal Eurípedes Novelino organization with friends, where she still collaborates on the board. She is the institutional relations officer of the Brasil Meu Amor Foundation, working on various projects aimed at rescuing Brazil's cultural heritage and promoting new arts.
The driving force behind this woman is her respect for all and her unconditional love for Brazil. Music is her vehicle of expression, and entrepreneurship, a talent inherited from generations, is a tribute to her ancestry. Her tender gaze upon the land is the source of her poetry in music and her actions as a businesswoman.
With a degree in international trade, she worked for both national and international companies. Always dedicated to institutions linked to the promotion and professionalization of trade and industry, she was the first female president of the Commercial and Industrial Association of Patos de Minas. Currently, she also chairs the board of Terrena and is a member of the board of Nooa, both companies based in Patos de Minas.
As an artist, she uses her art and irreverence to awaken in listeners the desire to discover a different view of Brazil and its people. Her interpretation and presence reveal the greatness of our art and culture.
In 2004, she debuted professionally as a singer, releasing several albums of original songs and covers. She participated in compilations such as "Acústico Brasil" by the "Putumayo" label with the song "Lábios de Cetim," chosen to be part of the soundtrack of the film "The Visitor," whose lead actor was Oscar-nominated.
In 2015, she released the album "Em Casa" dedicated to her fellow countrymen and great composers from Minas Gerais, with songs accompanied by the sound of the viola, representing her history and origins. In 2014, she recorded in Brazil and released the album "Talisman" with percussionist Sammy Figueroa in the United States, which received excellent reviews.
In 2016, she released the album "Vambora" with her own compositions with partners. She also released the album "Um Lugar," which contains some of the songs from the show "Um Reencontro com o Brasil," a project of the Brasil Meu Amor Foundation, in which she is a soloist.
Since then, she has released several CDs and singles of Brazilian songs as an interpreter. Glaucia Nasser's musical style permeates the universe of Brazilian Popular Music and all its poetic and ancestral richness as a powerful representation of art and culture. With a genuinely Brazilian musical style, she explores the musical diversity of this country from North to South, rediscovering nuances of sounds and colors, scents and flavors of this art so vast, vibrant, and unique in its diversity.
"I studied listening to Elis, Gal, Bethânia, Clara Nunes, and some international singers like Edith Piaf and Barbra Streisand. What always caught my attention was the way they reveal feelings through singing," explains the artist.

Wolfram Mathematics
This technological matrix originating in Bahia, Brazil and positioning creators around the world within reach of each other and the entire planet is able to do so because it is small-world (see Wolfram above). Bahia itself, final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other place on earth throughout all of human history, refuge for Lusitanian Sephardim fleeing the Inquisition, Indigenous both apart and subsumed into a sociocultural matrix comprised of these three peoples and more, is small-world. Human society, the billions of us, is small-world. Neural structures for human memory are small-world...
In small worlds great things are possible.

Dear friends & colleagues,
Having arrived in Salvador 13 years earlier, I opened a record shop in 2005 in order to create an outlet to the wider world for Bahian musicians, many of them magisterial but unknown.
David Dye & Kim Junod for NPR found us (above), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (he's a huge jazz fan), David Byrne, Oscar Castro-Neves... Spike Lee walked past the place while I was sitting on the stoop across the street drinking beer and listening to samba from the speaker in the window...
But we weren't exactly easy for the world-at-large to get to. So in order to extend the place's ethos I transformed the site associated with it into a network wherein Brazilian musicians I knew would recommend other Brazilian musicians, who would recommend others...
And as I anticipated, the chalky hand of God-as-mathematician intervened: In human society — per the small-world phenomenon — most of the billions of us on earth are within some 6 or fewer degrees of each other. Likewise, within a network of interlinked artists as I've described above, most of these artists will in the same manner be at most a handful of steps away from each other.
So then, all that's necessary to put the Bahians and other Brazilians within possible purview of the wide wide world is to include them among a wide wide range of artists around that world.
If, for example, Quincy Jones is inside the matrix (people who have passed are not removed), then anybody on his page — whether they be accessing from a campus in L.A., a pub in Dublin, a shebeen in Cape Town, a tent in Mongolia — will be close, transitable steps away from Raymundo Sodré, even if they know nothing of Brazil and are unaware that Sodré sings/dances upon this planet. Sodré, having been knocked from the perch of fame and ground into anonymity by Brazil's dictatorship, has now the alternative of access to the world-at-large via recourse to the vast potential of network theory.
...to the degree that other artists et al — writers, researchers, filmmakers, painters, choreographers...everywhere — do also. Artificial intelligence not required. Real intelligence, yes.
Years ago in NYC I "rescued" unpaid royalties (performance & mechanical) for artists/composers including Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Mongo Santamaria, Jim Hall, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd (for his rights in Bob Marley compositions; Clement was Bob's first producer), Led Zeppelin, Ray Barretto, Philip Glass and many others. Aretha called me out of the blue vis-à-vis money owed by Atlantic Records. Allen Klein (managed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles) called about money due the estate of Sam Cooke. Jerry Ragovoy (Time Is On My Side, Piece of My Heart) called just to see if he had any unpaid money floating around out there (the royalty world was a shark-filled jungle, to mangle metaphors, and I doubt it's changed).
But the pertinent client (and friend) in the present context is Earl "Speedo" Carroll, of The Cadillacs. Earl went from doo-wopping on Harlem streetcorners to chart-topping success to working as a custodian at PS 87 elementary school on the west side of Manhattan. Through all of this he never lost what made him great.
Greatness and fame are too often conflated. The former should be accessible independently of the latter.
