Gretchen Parlato

With her album «Flor» nominated for a Grammy she finds the balance between «artistic creativity and nourishing motherhood», the singer Gretchen Parlato says. And she adds: «The album is simple and at the same time mysterious.» And in actual fact, the Brazilian influenced music emanates a touch of magic that somehow feels familiar, but in other ways seems completely new. That is because Gretchen Parlato is more than just a great singer: she's not only strongly rooted in tradition but also a visionary, future oriented inventor of music, who has no fear of fragile beauty.
