A true global citizen, singing sensation Maria de Barros — born in Senegal, raised in Mauritania, and influenced by her Cape Verde Island ancestry — fuses into her music the rich and distinct rhythm variations of Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, Spain, and France.
In concert, de Barros re-creates the electric and eclectic atmosphere of a contemporary Cape Verde club, blending traditional Criolu daubed with bright flecks of Latin pop and African soul.
Described by The New York Times as simply "irresistible", Maria de Barros takes audiences on a joyful musical journey that transcends languages and cultures in an exhilarating celebration of diversity.
Maria connected with the audience and had the Embassy France rocking.
