"(...) But there ain’t a Brazilian singer in town who is as irresistible as Katia Moraes. Crowds go nuts when she performs. The energy, the charisma, the sheer joy of Brazilian music just fills a space."
LA WEEKLY
“Brazilian music has a special place in the heart of Kátia Moraes. It is her way of infusing the light, color, and sounds of her native land into our culture in the United States. Katia’s lyrics are in Portuguese, but with her gift as a storyteller, the audience is invited to gaze through an imaginary window revealing snippets of life in Brazil.
