Brazil's Céu

There's a new Brazilian musician on the scene. Her name is Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças, but she goes by Céu. We like samba, we like marchinhas, we like violão, we like Brazilian ska, we like bossa nova, and we like axé (the music, not the deodor- oh sorry, the body spray), but we're not big fans of that great Bermuda Triangle of music, so-called "world music."

Anyway, Céu sounds to us a little too much like Helen Folasade Adu - aka Sade - but we're fans of the brows.

And Sade...she gets a posting of her own.

And here's Céu's album.
