Alda Rezende Concert FM

In her home country of Brazil (pop. 187 million), Alda Rezende is something of a household name; in her country of choice, New Zealand, she is a relative unknown. Of course ‘unknown’ is simply a relative thing. Electronica fans know her for the stand-out song with award-winning producer The Nomad’s album Step 4th. Alda was a headliner for the Wellington International Jazz Festival, performing on opening night; and of course, there’s the efforts on OE: Brazil, an entrée for listeners of her syrupy voice and languid, sultry delivery.
