If we think of a CD as a photograph, a faithful snapshot of a specific moment from an artist's career, Mar do Meu Mundo is the picture of a singer who is releasing her fifth album confident about the musical aesthetics that she defends and in which she believes. Paula Santoro has an almost chamber style and sings to put the music, not herself, in the center of attention. Without distracting the audience with free virtuosities, the voice joins the instrumental part of the band, comprised of Rafael Vernet (piano and arrangements), Kiko Freitas and Rafael Barata (drums), Guto Wirtti and Zeca Assumpção (double bass), Marco Lobo (percussion), Daniel Santiago (guitar and electric guitar) and invited musicians as the UAKTI group and Maurício Tizumba (congado drum).
One of the greatest singers of her generation, Paula Santoro was born in Belo Horizonte (MG) and has lived in Rio de Janeiro for many years. With several works on stage and recording and TV studios, she became more prominent from 2002 on, when she won the third place in the 5th Visa Music Awards (V Prêmio Visa de Música). Besides of the four released albums, her discography has dozens of collaborations in albums from artists like Guinga, Nivaldo Ornelas, Pacífico Mascarenhas and Eduardo Neves.
All songs in her new album have the sea as subject or have the word "sea" in the lyrics, a concept that was created spontaneously. During the work's pre-production, Paula noticed that most of the songs selected for the repertory had this characteristic, so she decided to focus on this subject. "It's not just the sea as a nature element. I also mean the inner sea, the personal one - with turbulences, calmness and mysteries", she explains.
