Rhaissa Bittar Haisha's China debut hit Beijing in October.
in Hinduism, one of the incarnations of the three gods Vishnu is called the Great Black Heaven. When he was young, he was thought to have swallowed sand by mistake. His mother opened his mouth and saw the whole universe in his mouth. This is a fairy tale, of course, but there is a Brazilian girl named Rhaissa Bittar who can sing a small universe.
Rhaissa Bittar has been extremely sensitive to sound since childhood. After learning guitar and vocal music, she also won the Best Actress Award in Sao Paulo. The experience of studying in Taiwan at the age of 18 brought Chinese expression into her small universe, and she also gave herself a nice Chinese name-Haisha.
Rhaissa Bittar's new album is called "astral matter (Star Stuff)". She uses a very "small and fresh" unique music style to shape her own small universe, skillfully merging Brazilian music (frevo, samba, choro) with different types of music such as jazz, tango and Bossa Nova. At the same time, the whimsical lyrics fill this small universe with the color of fairy tales: cashews rejected the love of the pear, the unemployed phone bill found a good job in the Messiah bookstore, and the pearl earrings in the painter Vermeer's "the Girl with Pearl earrings" came back to life.
after its release, the album was highly recognized by Brazilian music critics and was listed as one of the best albums of 2014 by Embrulhador, Brazil's most famous music website. Last June, Rhaissa became one of the nominees for the 26th Brazilian Pop Music Awards, and the song "Astral matter" also competed for the "Best Pop Music" award.
Rhaissa Bittar was named the most promising singer by Estad?o, one of Brazil's largest newspapers. As a leader in the Brazilian Foreign Ministry's "New Voice" project, she will bring her band and new album "Astral matter (Star Stuff)" to Beijing and Macau this year.
Music producer and guitarist Daniel Galli, pianist and accordion Lulinha Alencar, bassist Lucas Esp ó sito and drummer Diego Gil will perform with Rhaissa Bittar.
