Mari Rosa December 16, 2011

Mari Rosa is an award winning singer, songwriter, and pianist who blends bombshell Brazilian breeziness, with a down-to-earth American acoustic aesthetic. The sonic lovechild of Brazilian knock out Astrud Gilberto, and earthy American songsmith James Taylor, Mari's music coos freely, and resonates from the roots. Winner of a 2005 Billboard Songwriting Award, and recipient of two 2007 Latin Jazz Awards, Mari Rosa is a talent to watch. .. .. "Vocalist Mari Rosa is an enchanting young performer with a pitch-perfect voice, a passion for Brasil, and a talent for writing songs that are eccentric and irresistible." John Matouk, About.com .. .. "Rosa...is catching the attention of bossa nova and Latin jazz aficionados, who praise her voice as well as her multilingual song-writing skills." — Russell Contreras, Boston Globe, May 6, 2007
