Sultry, seductive and infused with that inimitable samba swing, the music of Lusa Maita embodies the modern spirit of Brazil. Inspired by the bustling urban life found in her native city of So 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. Fans of Bebel Gilberto, Cu and Seu Jorge will find much to love in Lusa Maitas 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, Lusa Maita rises above the fray as one of the most promising young singers of her generation. Her first album as a solo artist, Lero-Lero, which was co-produced by Paulo Lepetit and Rodrigo Campos, offers songs that encourage her fellow Brazilians to recognize the beauty and deeper meaning of their lives. Its inspiration comes from the urban life of So Paulo, its ghettos and its people, notes Lusa, The lyrics and the aura of the album focus on the peculiarities of Brazilian daily life, culture and human condition.
