Luisa Maita, Chico Mann, and Vox Sambou on Beat The World Saturday, Nov 6th, 2010

Sultry, seductive and infused with that inimitable samba swing, the music of Luisa Maita embodies the modern spirit of Brazil. Inspired by the bustling urban life foind in her native city of Sao Paulo, Lero-Lero has a contemporary vibe with influences from alternative pop and downtempo electronic music melded with an acoustic foundation deeply rooted in samba and bossa nova. Hailing from a country overflowing with musical talent, Luisa Maita rises above the fray as one of the most promising young singers of her generation.

Born in the town of Limbé in Northern Haiti, Vox Sambou has been writing and performing since the age of 14. Montreal, Canada is now his home. A founding member of the international crew Nomadic Massive, he also asserts his individualism within this collective which facilitates his desire to bring light to the injustices taking place worldwide and particularly in Haiti. Furthermore, he does so using Haiti's most widely spoken language, creole. Vox hopes to bring back a sense of pride to his people by shedding light on their rich and unique cultural heritage. He feels, however, that although it is important to identify the issues surrounding the problem, it is equally urgent to find concrete solutions. He exercises this credo everyday as director of a youth community center in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges. (from www.apathyisboring.com).

Check out Vox Sambou live on Saturday, Nov 6th at Les Bobards 4328 St Laurent, show 9pm, for an exclusive presentation of his latest video, Humano Universal, directed in the Dominican Republic by filmmaker Ariel Mota. Vox will also be performing tracks from his upcoming album Humano Universal to be released in 2011!  Stay tuned to future Beat The World shows for an interview with Vox Sambou!
