Sultry, seductive and infused with that inimitable samba swing, the music of LuÃÂsa Maita embodies the modern spirit of Brazil. Inspired by the bustling urban life found in her native city of São Paulo, Lero-Lero has a contemporary vibe with influences from alternative pop and chilled out electronic music, but with an acoustic foundation deeply rooted in local samba, bossa nova and MPB.
LuÃÂsa Maita, hailed by NPR's All Things Considered as "The New Voice of Brazil", is touring the US, Canada and Mexico this November marking the first time the São Paulo native has toured outside of Brazil. LuÃÂsa has exploded onto the international music scene since the release of her debut album Lero-Lero, released on Cumbancha Discovery this summer. Within a week of the release, Lero-Lero skyrocketed to #1 on the iTunes Latin chart & #1 on Amazon's Latin Bestseller chart. Critics from National Public Radio to Huffington Post and Rolling Stone Brazil and influential tastemaker blogs have welcomed LuÃÂsa as a fresh new talent in Brazilian music.
Fans of Bebel Gilberto, Céu and Seu Jorge will find much to love in LuÃÂsa Maita's tropical, forward-looking sound, and her sensual yet soulful voice begs comparisons with everyone from Billie Holiday and Sade to Feist, St. Vincent and Cat Power. Hailing from a country overflowing with musical talent, LuÃÂsa Maita rises above the fray as one of the most promising young singers of her generation.
