Luisa Maita
Brazilian Roots
Hailimg from a working-class family in Sao Paula Brazil,
Luisa's upbringing was rich in musical heritage. Her composer
father introduced her to Samba and Bossa Nova. This, with her own pop
sensibilities, like American artists Stevie Wonder and Prince,
brought out
a strong ambition to venture into the life style. Recording with her
first band,
Urbanda, she debuted in 2003. Luisa has had many of her songs recorded
by some of Brazil's premier artists. Now, in 2010, she has released her
own album, Lero-Lero.
