A singer and songwriter with a solid career, she has built her reputation through powerful vocal performances and a deep respect for the genre's traditions. Early in her professional journey, her musicality caught the attention of icons such as Dona Ivone Lara, Jorge Aragão, and Arlindo Cruz, who became collaborators and supporters of her path.
Today, with five studio albums to her name, Karinah has established a repertoire that blends elegance, authenticity, and a heartfelt connection to samba.
Her 2023 album, Aglomerou, cemented her status among samba’s greats by bringing together artists like Alcione, Xande de Pilares, Dudu Nobre, Arlindinho, and Fundo de Quintal in a project that celebrates the genre's essence and diversity.
In 2025, she released the album Meu Samba. The project features musical direction by Max Pierre and artistic direction by Zeca Pagodinho, with compositions by Moacyr Luz, Dunga de Vila Isabel, and Zeca himself—who also performs on the track "Foi um Sonho."
Karinah also released the single "Ripiei," composed by Carlinhos Brown in partnership with André Lima and produced by Pretinho da Serrinha. The track delivers an infectious samba rhythm infused with afoxé nuances, reaffirming her identity as an artist deeply rooted in tradition yet open to engaging with new sounds.
