`Miss Balan‡o" is a full on rootsy samba record revitalized for the 21st century by the bold and beautiful Clara Moreno. The dancing girl for a modern Brazil turns her sensuous vocal to a genre she was born to re-interpret. Building on her critically acclaimed debut `Meu Samba Torto" this Brazilian star delivers her finest work to date, breathing life in to samba classics. Clara"s mother and Brazilian music icon Joyce produced the album and features alongside legends Joao Donato and Skowa while Orlandivo leads vocals on his classic `Tamanco no Samba". `Miss Balan‡o" is an essential recording that looks back but with brilliant originality.
