Born in Brazil, moved to Israel in 1991. An interesting mix of the two countries – Brazilian rhythms and Hebrew lyrics. All songs originals. She has a warm, sexy voice and is backed by a solid band. Not as energetic as traditional Brazilian dance music – it’s more a “feel good” sound w/a strong thread of jazz throughout. “Luar e Café”, by the way, means “moonlight & coffee.
