I first learned of the name Luisa Maita in 2010 while I was RPM Director. Her debut album, Lero-Lero, presented me a chance to hear more sounds similar to Astrud or Bebel Gilberto and I always kept her in mind.
The Maita Remixed album was right up my alley also. It combined my love for female vocalists along with the modern electronic music production I was exploring and charting.
When I found out she was returning to Montreal for a performance at the RialtoTheatre, I did what was necessary to catch the show after having missed her previous visit to my fair city.
It was not only my first Luisa Maita concert performance but my first time in the legendary Rialto Theatre as well.I have always known that the audience is seated during the performances and did that upon my entrance into the venue.

The ambiance in the Rialto and her small combo of musicians reminded me of The Montreal International Jazz Festival which had already concluded for 2012.It would not be a surprise to me that she is listed among the Jazz Festival’s performers in the near future.
The music performed that night was courtesy of the debut and upcoming album. At nearly 2 hours with an intermission in between, the audience was truly introduced to Luisa Maita’s music.That, in effect, was my purpose for attending the show.
