Allan, Paula is a Brazilian singer who is a veteran of the music scene enjoying a contemporary upsurge of interest due to the collaborations she, Ryko Sakamoto, and Paulo Jobim have made in the last four years or so.
With her husband Jacques (cellist and arranger and composer) she worked with Jobim in his final decade or so, in his wonderful "banda nova". . . I really love these recordings and she makes solid contributions.
I really like her voice, and her "presence" . . . . This one seems to be a bit of a departure in that she is using synths and drum machines and scratchin' record apparently as a backdrop/accompaniment at least in part. Her hubby Jacques seems to be involved, which is a PLUS.
I can DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THESE:
