Vakah, muito prazer !

Imagine a Latin American diva. 

Do you see an enigmatic and emotional singer, someone with a mysterious past and a fiery gaze like   Mercedes Sosa or Chavela Vargas ? Do you see a latina bombshell, a tropical beauty full of charisma and warmth like Ivete Sangalo or Sofia Vergara ? ​Or maybe someone quirkier, a persona with looks and facial expressions over the top, someone with cartoonish vibes like Celia Cruz or Carmen Miranda? 

If you pictured all of that at the same time, you might already know Vakah Profana.

And if that's not the case, get ready to discover a cabaret artist who loves to constantly bewitch, surprise and move her audience.

​​​​​

 

Vakah Profana, or the Divine Bovine as she's also known, is a Brazilian drag queen living in Brussels.

Born in Rio, not the Marvellous City but the forgotten one near the Amazon Rainforest, she's been singing, making up stories and walking on tiptoes since her early childhood. They tried to make her walk on the straight way by sending her to a nunnery for education. But she's only learned the taste for mystical experiences and fancy dresses. After wearing her first high heels, Vakah's never set her feet on the ground and she's been wandering through Europe and warming up the nights as a host and a cabaret singer. 

 

Whether she wins you over by her entrancing, sensitive or wacky side, you might go mad for this Unholy Cow!
