I
know a good singer by the choice of material and approach and
performance. Kenia has a tone and that quality of touching people longer
and deeper with her voice.

engaging the audience. Her knowledge and passion for Brazilian music and
art is evident in her stage performances, and she educates her audience
with every song.

Kenia,
a consummate vocal talent who can deliver a song as well as anyone I’ve
heard. Her voice is strong, her phrasing excellent, her delivery
totally polished. And she makes you move…

Kenia
is a Brazilian original, building a bridge to the next generation of
Brazilian music fans by following in the footsteps of Astrud Gilberto,
the closest I can think of in terms of Kenia’s ability to translate that
wonderful sense of saudade and spice that her songs provide. One can’t
listen to Kenia sing without appreciating her artistry. Her voice can
suspend time, and it can lead you to think about nothing at all, even if
just for a few minutes, and in this day that’s nothing short of
miraculous.

Simply
Kenia will quickly be embraced by Brazilian music aficionados as a
timeless classic of the sound that has seduced the world for over half a
century. It is a captivating blend of venerable choro works, samba and
bossa nova-accented tracks that represent the best of the contemporary
MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) tradition, and handpicked favorites from
the American ballad songbook. There’s little doubt that it all adds
up to the most well-rounded and stylistically authentic album of Kenia’s
career.
