Maria João
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria João
Maria João (born July 27, 1956, Lisbon, Portugal) is a Portuguese Jazz singer. She is not to be confused with Maria João, the model who was on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 1978.
While she is typically lumped with the Jazz moniker, her music incorporates an eclectic mix of various ethnic musics, modern jazz, and the avant-garde. Depending on the thematic slant of a release, electronica, symphonic and other genres have been thrown into the mix as well.
She has worked with many topline musicians, including Manu Katche, Trilok Gurtu, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Kai Eckhardt but her main collaborator is pianist Mário Laginha.
