Maria Rita

Among the biggest singing stars that Brazil has produced during the last decade, Maria Rita has toured the globe, sold more than 2.5 million records and notched a slew of Latin Grammy Awards. But as far as your Valentine's Day night is concerned, her most important accolade rests in her ability to fill the Walt Disney Concert Hall with a set of sultry bossa nova that pulls from her 11-year reign as well as standards by her mother, Brazilian singing legend Elis Regina.
