#100 Breaking Barriers with Carla Berg

Be Fearless Podcast

Meet Carla Berg!

Carla Berg is a native Brazilian who celebrates the music and culture of Brazil through song. Her work also seeks to reflect Carla's multi-faceted nature and the cultures she hails from. Raised Jewish, Carla’s earliest musical memories come from singing at Passover services with her grandfather, a cantor (singer). The duality of her cultural background has influences such as jazz, bossa nova, samba, middle eastern, and classical opera to define a sound that makes Carla’s voice unique.

Carla Berg self-identifying as a multicultural and multilingual singer and songwriter performs songs within languages such as Portuguese, English, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, Yiddish, and Ladino, many of which appear on her CDThankful and NES. She is committed to keeping traditions, culture, and language alive.

Having moved to the US in 2004, Carla is committed to keeping traditions, culture, and language alive. “People should have the space to express themselves according to the values and cultures in which they have been raised, even if they move in and out of different cultures and live in places outside of their homelands during their lives.” Carla believes music to be the universal language through which we can all connect to our roots and other cultures, explaining, “Through music, I am able to honor my identity and share that joy with others.”

Most recently, during the pandemic, she has been holding virtual performances and writing new songs, including samba and an original piece in time for Hanukkah.
