Speed of Light
Flora Purim is one of the most unique Jazz vocalists of the last thirty years, the musical role model of three generations of jazz singers. Few can match the Brazilian diva's astonishing range or come close to reaching the simple beauty, ethereal quality and sensuality that Flora brings to her music. She sings lyrically but also sometimes wordlessly, blending her voice (often aided by electronics) with other instruments to produce one of the most haunting and distinctive sounds in modern music. Married to the world famous percussionist, Airto Moreira, Flora performs with him as a member of Fourth World. Recently she has been working on a new album that pays tribute to the great Brazilian singer/songwriter Milton Nascimento.On Speed of Light : "Don't expect the obvious, this is the closest to a true song of the siren your ears are likely to witness" Straight No Chaser
