Karina Zeviani, voice of Nouvelle Vague and former The Voice Brasil contestant, dies at 51

Singer Karina Zeviani died on Thursday (Oct. 1) at 51 in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo state, where she was being treated for cancer. Born in Jaboticabal, she had been sharing updates on social media about the disease, which had spread to her liver earlier this year.

Karina had an unusually international career: she started in 2005 with the American collective Thievery Corporation, became a vocalist for the French project Nouvelle Vague in 2008 and spent nine years living between London, Paris and New York. In 2012, she released her solo album 'Amor Inventado'.

In 2020, at 45, she won over the coaches of season 9 of 'The Voice Brasil' singing Peninha's 'Sonhos'. Friends including Luana Piovani and model Luciana Curtis paid tribute: 'Today my beloved friend went to rest, but she will be dearly missed,' Luciana wrote.
