São Paulo, Brazil (1980 – present)

São Paulo, Brazil born singer songwriter Céu (Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças) is the epitome of malemolência, a beautiful and sexy 29-year-old singer (born April 17, 1980) with a sophisticated, multi-layered sound. CéU is about innocence, beauty, putting a little rhythm and happiness into life, taking it easy, sunshine and, above all, malemolência.

With her first album launching late summer in the UK, CéU presents a modern, innovative and internationally appealing take on samba, at the meeting point between global urban sounds and the afro-brazilian tradition.

When CéU formed her band she was looking for young, fresh musicians from different musical backgrounds. She ended up selecting a group of musicians whose average age was just twenty-five. However their age is no reflection on the enormous combined talent of the group, whose charisma, energy and musical maturity is a perfect fit with CéUs exposition of Malemolência.

Their influences range from Fela Kuti to Miles Davis, from The Roots to Massive Attack, from M’shell Ndogeocello to Portishead, as well as Brazilian composers such as Tom Jobim, Baden Powell, Egberto Gismonti among others.

Band Members are:
Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças - Vocals
Lucas Martins - Guitar/Bass
Bruno Buarque - Percussion
DJ Marco - Turntables
Guilherme Ribeiro - Keyboards
Serginho Machado - Drums

Vagarosa realmente superiou o album anterior. Ela conseguiu fazer músicas mais autênticas, bem mais a cara de CéU.
