Tania Maria

Tania Maria (b. Tania Maria Correa Reis, 1948 in São Luís do Maranhão, Brazil - aka Tânia Maria), is considered to have an excellent notion of rhythm & balance, in music - combining an original blend of Brazilian music with jazz & funk. She moved to Paris in 1974, New York in 1981 & returned to Paris again, after some years. Compared to the rest of the world (especially in the States & Europe), she is not well recognised in her homeland. Sites: Discogs.
