Soulful voice from Brazil closes World Music Series 2011
World Music Series 2011 wraps up with a free concert by Brazilian singer Luísa Maita. Sultry, seductive, and infused with that inimitable samba swing, her music embodies the modern spirit of Brazil.
Maita, a native of the Brazilian mega-city São Paulo, has been surrounded by music since birth. Her father, Amado Maita, a singer whose one debut solo album from the 1970s is a coveted vinyl collector’s item, named all three of his daughters after songs by bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim.
- When: Wednesday, August 24 at 7 p.m.
- Where: Armstrong Quad, Colorado College (Armstrong Theater, rain backup)
