BRAZILIAN HEART
February 2014

Since 1998

Let me start by saying how grateful I am!

The Beverly Hills Outlook magazine granted me the title
"World Music Artist of 2013"

I’m pregnant with a new show! 

I had the opportunity to express my love in words and actions to my friend and great musician Antonio de Sant'Anna before he passed unexpectedly in 2013!

The Brazilian Celebration 3 show 
produced annually by Marcia Argolo and I is set for April 2014! 

I’m teaching art to middle school kids and learning tons about Life! 
Thank you, Nan Young/Art Trek.

A TUNE MY MOM TAUGHT ME

I got that coughing flu that is going around here in California. I wish my mom was still alive to apply Vick Vaporub on my chest and back. She would do that in a very slow pace and in a circular motion...just like a slow tune... This reminds me that she taught me this song while walking with me on a sandy beach! Ah, good memories!

OLD PICTURE
Had the honor to perform with Sambaguru band @ The Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl years ago. Here's a pic of the Press Party at the Playboy Mansion that singer Cathy Segal-Garcia posted on Facebook.

BRAZILIAN DOCUMENTARIST EDUARDO COUTINHO (1933- 2014)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ0rKjLlR0c

This docudrama was first inspired to tell the story of the 1962 murder of a peasant revolutionary. Before Eduardo could finish his project, the 1964 military coup stopped it. In 1981 he got the original scenes back and filmed the reactions of the peasants.

Peace and Joy!

P.S.: I'm a work in progress!

"Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be."
