Sabrina Malheiros
Sabrina Malheiros (born 1979) is a Brazilian MPB singer/songwriter. Her music has been described as "nu bossa", combining house beats with jazz and samba influences and "cool, detached-sounding vocals",[1] and critics have compared her to Brazilian contemporaries Bebel Gilberto and Céu.[2][3]
Biography[edit]
Malheiros was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro.[4] She is the daughter of Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros.[5] She was interested in music from a young age, enrolled in music school at age six,[4] and made her first studio recording before age seven.[1] She cites Azymuth and João Gilberto as early influences on her musical style.[4]
Malheiros's first commercially distributed recording was the title track of Azymuth's 1991 album Curumim, on which she sang lead vocals.[4] Her debut album, Equilibria, was released in 2005.[1] Malheiros wrote or co-wrote nine tracks on the album.[4] Her second album, New Morning, was released in 2008 and was arranged by Arthur Verocai.[2] Both albums were produced by Daniel Maunick[1] and released on the Far Out Recordings label.[3][4] A remastered and partially reworked "Deluxe Edition" of New Morning was released in 2009, containing a few extra tracks and an increased emphasis on instrumentation.[5]
Malheiros made her UK concert debut on 18 May 2005 at Jazz Cafe in London.[6]
