Hailing from Brazil, Maria Rita is one of the country's leading singers. She is currently on her US tour and will be performing in various venues nationwide. The current tour marks Maria's return to the US after eight years. The upcoming "Voice & Piano" show will have an intimate format featuring a mesmerizing blend of vocals with piano, as she will perform with the pianist Tiago Costa. The two have been performing together for a long time now. The show will include tracks from Maria Rita's four records, including the Latin Grammy winner "Redescobrir," which was released in 2013. Judging from the fast selling Maria Rita tickets, a huge crowd can be expected at the upcoming concert.

Maria Rita belongs to a family with a musical background; her father was a pianist and her mother was Elis Regina, the singing sensation. Maria started singing professionally when she was twenty four and released her first self-titled CD in 2003. She sold more than a million units all over the world. The album went Platinum and was an international hit, making Maria a global star. It spawned hits like "The Party", "Meetings and Farewells", "Little Girl of the Gate" and "Brave Face". Maria received public recognition and won major awards like the Latin Grammy for 'Best Song in Portuguese' and 'Best MPB Album' in 2004. Maria has won the award more than any other artist in Brazil. She has sold over two million copies of her albums and has made appearances in some major venues and festivals across the world.

In 2005, Maria released "Segundo", which earned her two Latin Grammys. With the release of "Samba Meu" in 2007, Maria became the recipient of another Latin Grammy and on popular demand toured extensively for a couple of years. Maria paid tribute to Elis Regina by releasing "Redescobrir" on the thirtieth anniversary of her passing and supported it by live concerts. In an interview Maria Rita stated that the project was started to address her mother's iconic presence in music. Maria sounds a lot like her mother and has been highly appreciated for her terrific vocals. Maria has developed a jazzy vocal style of her own, with singers such as Ella Fitzgerald as her influence. Currently Maria Rita is celebrating the success of the tribute album and is getting ready for her "Voice & Piano" tour with Tiago Costa.

Keeping things fresh in her upcoming concerts, Maria will be playing songs from her various albums, some songs that she has not even recorded as yet as well as numbers from "Redescobrir". Maria will also be performing hit numbers by Elis Regina.

According to the artist, this tour is very special for her and she is very excited to perform for the US audiences. With the company of her pianist, Maria has always performed perfectly as her voice blends beautifully with Tiago's arrangements. Maria's voice is a lustrous, gentle soprano with minutely detailed phrasing and elegant depths.

Brazilian pop singers of today are highly influenced by Elis Regina, whose gentle, naturalistic voice was full of emotion and had perfect timing. Maria Rita's voice resembles that of her mother and takes the audience on an astounding music spree. All the fans are waiting to see her live and Maria Rita tickets are among the most-sought after these days.
