Luisa Maita - Fio Da Memoria

In life and in music, Brazilian singer and songwriter Lu�sa Maita likes to take it slow. It has been over six years since she released her critically acclaimed debut album, Lero-Lero. In that time, Lu�sa has toured the world numerous times, received the Brazilian equivalent of the GRAMMY for Best New Artist, had two of her songs featured in the Academy Award-winning film Boyhood, collaborated with Daniel Hunt of Ladytron, recorded with Da Lata, shared the stage with some of the biggest stars in Brazilian music, and lent her voice to the opening ceremony of the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Fans waiting impatiently for Maita's second album to be finished might have felt like they were in that classic ketchup commercial�the one where the song Anticipation plays as the ketchup makes its way oh so slowly down the interior of the bottle. The wait is finally over, and it has definitely been worth it. Fio da Mem�ria, which means Thread of Memory in Portuguese, will be released on Cumbacha. The album bridges sultry downtempo electronica and Brazilian popular music to boldly redefine not only Lu�sa's personal style, but also the soundscape of modern Brazil.
