Rising Brazilian Star Luísa Maita to Return to North America for July 2012 Tour

Brazilian vocalist Luísa Maita will be revisiting North America in the summer of 2012 with her popular mix of samba, alternative pop and downtempo electronica. Luísa Maita will be promoting new material from her forthcoming album to be released in early 2012.

Luísa Maita has been hard-working since the release of her much-admired debut album Lero-Lero on Cumbancha Discovery in 2010. In 2011, Luísa won the Best New Artist award at the Brazilian Music Awards, the top music awards in the South American nation.

She was featured both on-screen and in the soundtrack for the movie Estamos Juntos directed by Tony Venturi, performing a revamped version of her hit song “Lero-Lero”.

Luísa Maita also embarked upon her first European tour playing at the renowned festivals Musicas do Mundo (Portugal) and Nuits du Sud (France). Earlier this year she appeared on the prestigious tribute album for Caetano Veloso alongside Marcelo Camelo, Devandra Benhart, Ceu, Mariana Aydar, Jorge Drexler and others.
