Her sublime 'Vento De Beirada' EP takes you on a trip into the sensuous sounds of Dora's world. On frst hearing her music, we were reminded of the transformational moment when we frst discovered the Brazilian singersongwriter, Joyce. The music is completely new to you, yet instantly familiar, like rediscovering a past love. Dora is a member of the Brazilian Latin-Grammy-winning superstar quartet Bala Desejo; a trailblazing light opening up Brazilian music to a whole new audience outside of the country. 'Vento De Beirada' EP showcases a different sound to the riotous, joyful, avant-garde Tropicalia sound of Bala Desejo. This solo set takes a more dream-like, downbeat, MPB stance. It is frmly contemporary, yet you can also trace the lines of infuence back to idols such as Gal Costa and Maria Bethania.
