Arts Garage presents Maria Rivas, Saturday February 4 at 8 PM. Known as one of the most versatile voices in Latin America and now North America, Maria Rivas skillfully combines American and Latin Jazz rhythms with lively yet sentimental music from around the world. She interprets her music in English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, and performs her own blend of traditional standards as well as music and lyrics she has composed herself.

Maria’s unique sound is an intoxicating combination of classic American jazz and Latin music, with just the right splash of Brazilian accents, together with her signature mixture of indigenous, Caribbean, European, and African strains. From slow and sensuous, to very lively with a strong beat, her audiences love alternately to dance to her music, or sit and listen while being both moved and energized. A significant number of her audience members have described her performances as “magical”–their word.

“I consider Maria Rivas to be one of the finest singers on the world stage today, truly a tremendous talent. .. Her music is varied, original, and unique.”
Oscar de Leon, Latin Grammy Award winner.
