Critically acclaimed, singer and pianist Maíra Freitas can’t remember not playing the piano. Daughter of legendary samba and MPB star Martinho da Vila, Maíra received her first instrument at age 6 – pink and adorned with Hello Kitty stickers the little piano was the first step towards a solid education as an instrumentalist and composer. After her classical training, Maira developed a strong taste for Brazilian popular music – MPB. She loves the music of Chico Buarque, Gonzaguinha, Nana Caymmi, Paulinho da Viola and, of course, her father Martinho da Vila, among many. Maira refined her popular piano skills with well-known masters such as Cristovão Bastos, Leandro Braga, Marcos Nimrichter and Sheila Zagury. For her self-titled maiden project, produced by her sister Mart’nália (famed singer/songwriter on her own), the young singer from Rio has surrounded herself with top-notch musicians building a personal and well thought-out repertoire of songs that reflect her personality. Maíra arrives with a veteran’s security, immediately imprinting her own personal Brazilian style which is both classic and popular, and experimenting new technologies on stage like samplers, loops, electronic.
