Luisa Maita is one of Brazil’s up and coming singers who was recently featured on NPR<\/a>, the Huffington Post<\/a>, and Estad\u00e3o<\/a>, amongst others. Her song was also featured in the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics promotional video<\/a> created before Brazil won the games.<\/p>\n

Luisa’s father emigrated to Brazil from Syria, and fell in love with Brazilian music. He named his three daughters after Tom Jobim songs, and made music an important part of family life in his S\u00e3o Paulo household. Luisa released her first solo album this year, featuring songs that combine a number of musical styles, including samba, capoeira rhythms, jazz, and techno. Her lyrics focus on Brazilian themes, including life in Brazil’s largest city, popular culture, and young love.<\/p>\n
