The Mr. Bongo label has celebrated Brazilian music with their Brazilian Beats series--albums containing some of the best music the country has ever produced. Now they bring the format into the visual realm with this selection of music videos, live performances, and a documentary on many of the artists who have been featured on the albums.

Mayra Andrade's compelling performance shows an artist at the peak of her powers, all captured live in the acoustically sympathetic surroundings of Studio 105, Radio France, Paris. Focusing on her voice supported by an acoustic trio of guitar, percussion and double bass with occasional guests, the performance is as powerful as is intimate. The album comprises of an audio CD with a DVD of the concert plus bonus footage of rehearsals. This is an essential chapter in the continuing story of a young singer and performer once championed by the late Charlie Gillett and whom he described as a true star.
