Artist Overview
At the start of the 2000s, a handful of beguiling acts emerged to revive the Brazilian styles that enchanted listeners in the 1960s and '70s. Maria do C�u Whitaker Po�as is one of the more creative of the bunch, meshing the sultry sounds of samba, bossa nova, and choro with jazz, hip-hop, and R&B to form a hybrid that is body-conscious yet sophisticated. The Brazilian-raised singer learned some of her chops in her late teens on an extended stay in New York City; she returned home in 2005 to make her debut recording with producer Beto Villares (Zelia Duncan, Herbert Vianna). The album became a hit first in South America, then Europe, and finally the States.
