Perfect fusion

Singer Luciana Souza describes the Brazilian sound to The Birmingham News.

"It's a quite perfect fusion, something that is percussive, with beautiful, sophisticated harmonies and simple, immediate rhythms. You could fall asleep to it as much as you could dance to it. It's nurturing and comfortable, but also exciting. Everything in Brazilian music is a communal experience. It goes back to family, to sharing, each person playing a little instrumental lag to the rhythm. While it is specific, it is also free, very natural, very speechlike."
