Description

With roots that extend deep into the heart of traditional Brazilian music and a future-forward embrace of contemporary urban, pop and electronic influences, Luisa Maita has established herself as a musical ambassador to the world. Hailed by NPR as the "new voice of Brazil," the Sao Paolo-born Maita began her professional music career singing advertising jingles at age 7. These days Maita is known for wrapping her sultry, soulful voice- which has garnered her comparisons to Sade, Billie Holiday, Feist and Cat Power- around her own songs, which are steeped heavily in the syncopation of samba, the cool stylings of bossa nova and the spirit of life in Brazil today.
