Simaria discusses end of musical duo with sister Simone

Brazilian singer Simaria has addressed the end of her successful musical partnership with her sister, Simone Mendes, in a recent interview with the program Fantástico. She explained that the decision to stop performing as a duo was driven by the need to prioritize her mental health, physical well-being, and motherhood.

Simaria described the period of professional hiatus as a necessary measure for survival and family strengthening, noting that the pressure of balancing roles as a mother, producer, and singer had become unsustainable. She stated that she does not regret the choice, saying, “I would do it all over again. It was the best thing I ever did in my life,” emphasizing that being present for her children's growth was more important than commercial success.

Regarding her relationship with Simone, Simaria noted that their bond has actually improved since they ceased working together. She mentioned that they now maintain a more tranquil relationship and support each other's solo careers by sharing musical ideas and feedback.
