Paula Santoro releases Mar do Meu Mundo (The Sea In My World)

It’s not often that a new star emerges on the international music scene with a fully formed and personal vision expressed through contemporary rhythms and musical eloquence, but such is the case with Paula Santoro.

A star of the concert stage, musical theater, and Brazilian television, Santoro’s grasp of the modern Brazilian musical vernacular is as complete as her deep understanding of artistic expression.

On her latest release, Mar do Meu Mundo (The Sea In My World), Santoro’s compelling and sophisticated vocal abilities shine brightly in a series of thematically linked compositions interpreted through dance floor-ready, jazz-based arrangements.

Light and breezy on the surface, Mar do Meu Mundo is also typically Brazilian in its consistent ability to simultaneously contain deeper levels of meaning that are poetic and profound while at the same time remaining personal and universal.
