The Love Belo...

Vanessa da Mata, Self-Titled: Eu Não Tenho
Vanessa da Mata is a talented songstress from Belo Horizonte, the capitol of the state of Minas Gerais. I was fortunate enough to have caught her in concert in Salvador last June, in a great show at the Teatro Jorge Amado.

Her songs have been recorded by Daniela Mercury, Maria Bethania and Chico Cesar, but on her debut self-titled album, she and her band have a sound all their own.

This song isn't indicative of the album as a whole, but in this case that's a good thing... The style's on the album are varied, but it blends very well as an overall scheme. Some is more traditional samba/batuque stuff, other stuff is more pop oriented in general.

I'm looking for some expanded webspace, and when I find it I'll try to re-post some older songs...
