Luisa Mandou um beijo- (2005)

"Luisa mandou um beijo" means "Luisa has sent a kiss" in Portuguese. Lovely Brazilian pop band with female vocals, and a brazilian vibe in their songs, it could be a "Brazilian Chamber Pop" but with more power guitars and energy. Highly recommended!

Tracklist:
1.Amarelinha
2.Weep-out man
3.Anselmo
4.Guardanapos
5.Bauhaus today
6.Desfeito em luz
7.Julia
8.Maracana
9.Com um pote de geleia de morango nas maos
10.Carinhoso
11.Hoje, o mar dancou no ceu
