Brazillian Legend Leny Andrade Retuns to Birdland from Rio

After a very successful week last summer at the legendary club Birdland in NYC, where Leny Andrade received a rave review from The New York Times, she's been invited back to Birdland and will go on tour to important Festivals and clubs in and around NY: The Litchfield Festival Summer Concerts on the Hudson in NJ, Scullers in Boston, Belleayre Music Festival in Belleayre NY (in the Catskills), and “back to Birdland."

“To describe Ms. Andrade as both the Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald of bossa nova only goes so far in evoking a performer whose voice seem to contain the body and soul of Brazil."
-- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
