Maysa


 A singer that is new to me from Brazil with a great soulful voice full of emotion!..defiantly one to get to know !......Not to be confused with Maysa Leak  American Jazz singer and a member of the British Band "Incognito"

Maysa Sings Songs Before Dawn is the ninth studio album by Brazilian singer Maysa, released and produced in 1961 in the United States, while Maysa toured the country. In the same year it was also released in other Latin American countries, but the order of the songs changed and their titles were translated into Spanish. In Argentina and Uruguay the album was called Maysa and in Peru, Maysa Matarazzo. The album was never released in Brazil, making its existence a myth.
