Honestly, she is filtered pop material. Her descendance is Portugal but her
home city is Canada I believe but her music is pretty Top 40 (I know Mondo
Grosso is Top 40 in Japan but in North America at least, Top 40 is ALWAYS
pop music or becomes pop music). Not a trace of samba or bossa although she
tries to pull off some freak charo biznez which obviously is a half-ass
attempt. It's pop music through and through...
