MONICA SALMASO ‘IAIA’

‘Mônica Salmaso has a gorgeous, quintessentially Brazilian voice: quietly lustrous and sustained, suffusing each liquid note with languid secrets.’ (The New York Times). With Iaiá, her fourth album, she brings an impressive ode to Chico Buarque, Dorival Caymmi, Paulo César Pinheiro and Jobim. ‘To this, the lover of true music can surrender because Iaiá is an unpretentious masterpiece’. (Het Parool). ‘Salmaso is bringing an airy, transformative quality to contemporary Brazilian music.’ (Los Angeles Times).
