Maria Rita is one of contemporary Brazil's most captivating and innovative artists, a singer who has truly inherited the mantle of Brazilian musical royalty. Born on September 9, 1977, in Sao Paulo, she is the daughter of revered singer Elis Regina and acclaimed pianist/arranger César Camargo Mariano. Her mellifluous voice and natural finesse have drawn comparisons to her mother's remarkable legacy, yet Maria Rita has carved out her own musical identity with a style that blends a modern sensibility with a deep reverence for traditional Brazilian rhythms.

Since the release of her self-titled debut album in 2003, which earned her Latin Grammy Awards, Maria Rita has continued to captivate audiences around the world. Renowned for her soulful interpretation of samba, jazz, and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), she has not only transcended her initial recognition as the daughter of a legend but has also brought a fresh perspective to the Brazilian music scene. Her ability to convey deep emotion through her music, as displayed in recent releases such as "Você Me Venceu" and "Samba Da Maria (Ao Vivo)," establishes her as a formidable interpreter of Brazil's rich musical traditions. With her powerful stage presence and poignant songwriting, Maria Rita propels the evolution of Brazilian music while paying homage to its storied past.
