At the forefront of Los Angeles’ current wave of Brazilian music is Rio de Janeiro-born singer-songwriter Bianca Rossini. Bianca’s recent album, Meu Amor, follows her internationally acclaimed debut album Kiss of Brasil, which has been featured by more than 200 Jazz radio stations in the US and in radio stations in 15 countries in Europe. Bianca is featured on the top Bossa Nova playlists on Pandora, Beats and Spotify. Kiss of Brasil has made Bianca an instant star in the Bossa Nova world!

Critics worldwide have praised Bianca’s music and performances:

“Bianca Rossini brought a colorful touch of Brazil to her performance at Vibrato Grill Jazz…etc. From start to finish it was a memorable showcase of her many skills – from songwriting and singing to acting and enlivening her show with dynamic dance moves. And all of it was supercharged by the rich, emotional Brazilian roots that are at the heart of her musical art. Her selections, chosen from Bianca’s growing collection of original songs, included several co-written with Hal David, Ken Hirsch, and Harvey Mason. The songs reached across the Brazilian musical landscape with captivating bossa novas, ballads, sambas, baiões and chorinhos. Topping off her set, Bianca’s visually oriented performance emphasized her lithe and expressive abilities as a dancer and actress. Add to that the warm-toned voice and dramatic presentation that brought all of her music together into one engaging interpretation after another.” – Don Heckman, The International Review of Music, April 3, 2014

“I listen to Kiss of Brasil everyday! Bianca, you will be forever in the book of my luminaries.” – Jimmy Webb

“Honest, captivating and original! In a field as overpopulated as Brazilian jazz, the only way to make an impression is with originality. Bianca Rossini is an original. Bianca’s captivating, self-penned Bossa Nova compositions and stunning vocal performances resonate long after the first listen. Bianca’s honeyed, sensual voice is golden: smooth yet commanding, classic but cutting-edge. The arrangements, production and musicianship are all first-rate—a perfect match for Bianca’s honest, velvety, assured delivery. Like Kiss of Brasil before it, Meu Amor is a keeper, an exciting new work from an artist steeped in classicism but with an ear toward the future. I can’t get enough of this music!” Jeff Tamarkin – Associate Editor, JazzTimes magazine

“I was enchanted by Bianca the first time I heard her sing, and now after listening to her album KISS of BRASIL I’m as impressed with her songwriting as I am with her singing.” – Flora Purim

“The Jazz Lover Family has an everlasting love for Bianca’s ‘Kiss of Brasil.’ You can’t help but be seduced by the oh-so-sexy lilt of Bianca’s voice. Bianca’s music takes you back to the days of Jobim, Getz & Gilberto, Toquinho, and Vinicius de Moraes when Bossa Nova was king. When listening to “No Silencio da Noite,” “Ipanema Paraiso,” you envision being singled out and serenaded by Bianca, live and in person. It’s just magical! Bianca Rossini’s ‘Kiss of Brasil’ will live for a very long time. What a treat to be entertained by the sultry and alluring voice of Bianca Rossini once again. Her new EP Meu Amor is a continuation of the beguiling sound that we experienced with her last outing. So, as that one was a Kiss of Brasil, Meu Amor is the embrace. You feel the subtle excitement of romantic nights in a Brazilian breeze. Meu Amor – listen and enjoy!” Malvin Massey Jr. – General Manager – WUMR U92 FM – “The Jazz Lover”
