CeU

CéU (pronounced “cell with a light L”) is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music is rooted in samba, the infectious rhythmic style made famous in Brazil, which she blends with hip-hop, jazz and soul to create an intoxicating and distinctive sound.
Nominated for a Latin GRAMMY® in 2006 for “Best New Artist,” CéU is a rising star. Her full name is Maria do CéU Whitaker Poças, but she goes by the simple moniker CéU. It is a name that when translated into English means “sky” or “heaven.”
CéU is the first international artist featured in the Starbucks Hear Music™ Debut series. Her music crosses boundaries – CéU is an incredibly electrifying performer with universal appeal,” said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment.
Just when you think that Brazil must surely have exhausted its supply of irresistibly jazzy, funky, sexy, soulful electro-pop singer-songwriters, someone like CéU releases an irresistible album full of Samba, reggae, dub, electronica, love, heartbreak, chaos and sweet tunefulness.

A little weak in the beats dept. for my taste, but who doesn't love free music?
