With her latest production recorded at Riverside Studios in Cologne, Brazilian vocalist Patricia Cruz once again delivers an intimate and refined portrait of her musical roots, her international journey, and her unmistakable voice.

Born in Rio de Janeiro into a family of Brazilian artists, Patricia represents the third generation of creative talent. Raised in Rio Claro (in São Paulo state), she attended a German school from a young age, laying the foundation for a future that would bridge cultures through music.

Her professional path took a pivotal turn in 1989, when an unexpected opportunity to tour Europe with a Brazilian band launched her onto the international stage. Since then, she has established herself as a unique and respected voice in the Brazilian and European jazz scenes.

Now based in Germany, Patricia Cruz performs regularly with her bands “Batida Diferente” and “Brazilian Motions”, as well as in duos and trios with world-class instrumentalists. Her music is a graceful blend of bossa nova, samba, MPB, and jazz, marked by authenticity, elegance, and emotional depth.

This latest recording is a testament to a life devoted to music, shaped by two worlds and sung from the heart.


Here, Patricia has produced a truly great project, with exceptional sound, arrangements, and musicians. With João Luis Nogueira: Guitar / Henrique Gomide: Piano / André de Cayres: Bass / Pablo Saez: Drums / Alfonso Garrido: Percussion
