Any Rosa Passos Fans out there? If not, why not?

I have her "Amarosa" CD. She does some fantastic covers of Jobim's music. Not only does her voice send me into places I haven't been for many years, but her guitar work is superb.

Listen to this:

Play some of the samples to see why I am hot on her music.

1. We like her a lot. Very talented and soulful.
Sort of like a Brazilian Sarah Vaughan only vocally more open and with a lighter voice.

3. At times she looks like Anita Baker.
I really like her phrasing.
