Monica Salmaso - "Mora Na Filosofia"

Upon winning the El Dorado Prize as best singer in Brazil in 1999, Monica Salmaso found herself at the forefront of the renovation of Brazilian popular music. New York Times writer Jon Pareles says "her breathy, melting voice is set against just a handful of instruments at a time, making the melodies seem even more cherished, while Bruce Gilman of Brazzil magazine calls her "the singer Brazil has needed for so long". Audiences are captivated by the magic of Monica's precise and powerful voice, quintessentially Brazilian, with a warm and velvety timbre. Don Heckman of the LA Times advises, "She is an artist to be watched, one with extraordinary potential."
