Album Description "Cristina showed that the harp is an instrument like any other and encounters no boundaries on any music style. Her particular way of singing and playing is admirable and sometimes unbelievable. Such a harp swing!" -- Backstage * Cristina Braga is considered the most important harpist in South America, showing the world a harp with Brazilian soul and introducing listeners worldwide to the sound of the Latin American jazz harp! * At home in both popular and classical music, Braga is principal harpist with the Rio de Janeiro Symphony and has worked as a soloist with many symphony orchestras. She has worked and recorded with such singers as Marisa Monte, Lenine, and Nando Reis and regularly tours the US, Europe and Japan. * In 2008 she was invited by Andy Summers (guitarist of The Police) and Roberto Menescal to record on their DVD United Kingdom of Ipanema. She is a moving vocalist with a deep melancholy in her voice that seems specially carved for the compositions of Tom Jobim and other masters of the MPB (Música Popular Brasileira).
