 I'm a midwife originally from Brazil speaking to you from Canada and I am here to present our lovely singer for today. We're starting our presentation wishing for peace for all women and midwives and families around the world and we thank all of you for participating in our wonderful conference. I had a lot of fun in this last 24 hours. I hope you guys did too. It was truly wonderful and so now I am going to go ahead and introduce Isadora. So I'm going to start with her introduction in Portuguese followed by introduction in English. So Isadora canto que desde novinha brincava de creche de boneca e de cantora. Em suas brincadeiras plantava semente boa de uma isa que viria seria a calantadora. Do pai ganhou um veleiro que lhe deu liberdade para navegar os mares que escolheu e escolheu o mar do feminino da ancestralidade da sua mãe ganhou o pé na terra, força e fé, menina pra crescer, expandir e florescer. Hoje Isadora canto transborda afeto e amor, ensina, acole e traduz, não só as mães mas as mulheres do seu tempo. Baixarel encanto popular pela Fasme, fundadora do Acalanto Brasil de música na gestação em Puerpério e mãe de Téu Elia com canto autora indicada ao Grêmio, autora dos álbuns Vida de Bebé, Criança e Mãe, menina Lua e Tiau TT, diretora do Grupo Materna Encanto e com a missão de acolher mulheres e seus cantos. This is Isadora canto, a Brazilian singer Isadora Ai Sing, which is canto in Portuguese, since she was very young played that she was part of a daycare, played with dolls and pretended she was a singer. In her games she planted the good seed of an isa that would become soothing. From her father she gained a sailboat that gave her freedom to navigate the seas she chose and she chose the sea of the feminine of ancestry. From her mother she gained feet planted solidly on the ground of earth, strength and faith as a girl to grow, expand and flourish. Today Isadora canto overflows with affection and love, teaches, welcomes and translates not only mothers but women of her time. She graduated in popular singing and songwriting from the Faculdade Santa Marcelina in São Paulo City in Brazil. She's the founder of Acalanto Brasil, South Brazil which makes music for pregnancy birth and the postpartum period. She is the mother of Theo and Lia and a Grammy nominated singer-songwriter. She's the author of the album Vida de Bebé, A Baby's Life, Criança e Mãe, Child and Mother, Menina Lua, Moon Girl and Chautete by Tete. She's the director of the Materna Encanto, Mother in Song and has the mission to welcome women and their songs. It is my pleasure and my honor to introduce you to Isadora Cantos' songs. Hello, thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. I don't speak English very well, so I will speak and sing in Portuguese. Thank you, Paloma. I will start with a song called Oração, song from the Comparto, which for me is an oration. I composed this song, it was not yet released, it is not yet on the networks, on the platforms, but I will present it for the first time here today with you. So Isadora is singing this song for the very first time, it's an exclusive here. You're hearing the song for the first time at VIDM 22. It's not still on her music platforms, so you heard it, you heard here first. Here we go. na bolsa das águas e manjar me con seda sua dança dos rios cachoeiras e proteja minha criança a e ansa joga em mim a sua força dos ventos tempestade minha cria respirar sei que meu corpo sabe todos os caminhos a percorrer para meu filho nascer confio na minha força de parir e receber ouvindo renascer danço e canto pra você meu novo ser que a vida lhe proteja meu sasinho agora eu vou cantar uma música que ela é muito significativa pra mim ela se chama reconhecimento porque é o momento que você encontra com o seu bebê você o reconhece porque vocês já se conectaram de alguma forma na gestação ou no plano espiritual essa música aqui no brasil virou um hit das salas de parto das das salas das casas de parto então é um é uma música que me abriu muitas portas é quando eu fui doula quando eu participei de muitos partos e quando eu tive meu próprio filho no meu banheiro então a próxima música é uma música muito conhecida no brasil é chamada de reconhecimento você vai ver esse slide muito breve e sim eu vou mudar esse slide pra você é about that first moment when a mother recognizes her child right after birth and it's a song that has opened many doors to is a daughter i can attest to being a midwife who has practiced in brasil that her song is indeed a very popular song in birthing rooms all across the country so here we go with recognition e and and It's like being dried up from protection, from so much love from my heart. If I had waited all my life for you there, if I had waited all my life for you there, it's like if I had waited all my life for you there, it's very important to me, so important to me. Now I'm going to sing a song that I received almost spiritually, which is called Plantadeira, because I believe that we are plantadeiras of good seed. I and all of us who are here now are people who have a very important mission, which is to plant and harvest these good seeds. So now Isadora is going to sing us this song, Planter, and she says it's a song that she has almost spiritually received, and she thinks it's the perfect place to sing it, because she thinks that all of us here are planters and are planting very important and good seeds. Here we go with a plantadeira, Planter. Eu vim do... muito obrigada. Muito obrigada, Isadora. Maravilhoso. Thank you very much. My Instagram. Can I put here? Yes, please. Good. Thank you very much.
