After taking part in several movies, plays, musicals and dancing projects, Katia concentrated her career on singing. In the mid 90's, when she started to look for some new partners to give a deeper focus on her musical concepts, Katia had the luck to find the late great producer Suba. Before his untimely death in 1999, she had the privilege to have him mixing her first album, 'Katia B' (2000). Suba also invited her to compose and sing on his successful album 'São Paulo Confessions'. Their partnership can be heard on the track called 'Secret'. Later she participated on his tribute album 'Tributo', on the track 'Are you Sleeping?'.
Katia's second album, 'Só Deixo Meu Coração na Mão de Quem Pode' (2003), was released worldwide. In Brazil the album was released by MCD Records, in Japan by Rip Curl Recordings, in Germany by Peacelounge Recordings, in the UK by Tumi Music (as 'Mais Uma/One More Shot') and in the US by Street Beat Records (as 'My Brazilian Heart'). She worked with several producers. Some of them were new names in the Brazilian music scene. Others were well known, like Bid (electronic and lounge) and Marcos Suzano (the great Brazilian percussionist who travels the world spreading some serious Samba beats!). Some other great local musicians participated on the album too, like her husband João Barone (drummer for famous rock band Paralamas do Sucesso) and the great worldwide renowned musical genius and close friend, Egberto Gismonti. The success of the album led to various concert invitations in and outside Brazil; like in Mexico, Uruguay, France (Paris) and Germany (in Frankfurt and at the well known Popkomm
Festival in Berlin (2006)).
Now here's Katia's third solo project: 'Espacial'

Até o entardecer
Katia B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
deixando trilha pra onda cobrir
pra todo lado sua rede
seu olhar sem freio
chega cedo e não se apressa
fica até o entardecer
Agora te vejo tão só
sem saber quem sou
O que é que a gente leva
da névoa da manhã
registros
rabiscos
Não esqueça de me dizer
pra onde você vai
O sol na minha vidraça
faz o tempo desistir
Você está sempre por perto
chega cedo e não se apressa
fica até o entardecer
The lyrics of "Até o entardecer" by Katia B paint a picture of a beach setting, with the singer's feet still on the sand, leaving a trail for the waves to cover. The imagery of the beach and the setting sun create a sense of peacefulness and nostalgia. The mention of a "rede" (net) and "olhar" (gaze) hints at a connection between two individuals, with one's gaze being unrestrained and lingering until sunset. The lyrics convey a sense of intimacy and a desire to spend time together without rushing.
As the song progresses, the tone shifts to a more melancholic note as the singer observes the other person leaving. The lines "Agora te vejo tão só, agora te vejo partir, sem saber quem sou" express a feeling of loneliness and uncertainty as the other person departs. There is a sense of longing and introspection as the singer questions their own identity and the nature of their relationship with the departing individual.
The lyrics then delve into themes of transience and the passage of time. The reference to "névoa da manhã" (morning mist) and "registros, rabiscos" (records, scribbles) suggest a contemplation of what memories and traces we leave behind as time marches on. The plea to "não esqueça de me dizer pra onde você vai" (don't forget to tell me where you're going) reflects a desire for clarity and communication in the face of inevitable change and departure.
The final verses bring a sense of solace and familiarity, with the presence of the sun in the singer's window marking the passage of time. Despite the uncertainties and departures, the other person is portrayed as always being nearby, arriving early and not hurrying away until dusk. The repeated motif of staying until sundown symbolizes a commitment to being present and savoring moments of togetherness, even in the face of inevitable endings. The lyrics of "Até o entardecer" encapsulate the bittersweetness of fleeting connections and the beauty of shared moments in the face of transient nature of time.
