With her firm alto voice the Brazilian diva Lenny Andrade spices up the mellow bossanova. Since the 1960s she has performed with legendary Latin artists like Sergio Mendes and Paquito d’Rivera. ‘… the Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald of bossanova… a performer whose voice seems to contain the body and soul of Brazil’ (New York Times).
