Brazilian singer Andrea Monteiro’s voice has been described as ethereal and otherworldly. Born in Rio de Janeiro, and singing since an early age, she became the leader singer of Tao & Qual, a rock/alternative/Brazilian act that toured all over Brazil. Antonio Pinto from City Of God's soundtrack was her bandmate. The band lasted nine years, and during that time she also worked with award-winning Brazilian composers Fernando Moura and Lula Costa-Lima.
In a search for new forms of expression, Andrea reconnected with an old partner from Tao & Qual, Fabio Bola, to assemble the new band Circulo, which quickly established itself at the forefront of Rio’s musical underground.
Attracted by the freedom to experiment afforded by New York City’s cutting edge music scene, A. M. moved to New York in 1998 to develop her unique style further. In 2000, she performed as a featured vocalist at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, in the world premiere of Alvin Ailey Dance Theater’s multimedia piece Double Exposure.
In 2004 she made a successful New York debut with her own show “Brazilian Love” at Joe’s Pub. Delivering an eclectic sound – Soulful-Brazilian, Future-Jazz, Andrea grabbed the audiences by the heart. The band under her name comprises of well-known musicians in the downtown NYC music scene, including Jeremy Wilms, Tommaso Cappellato, Yusuke Yamamoto, Ze Mauricio and Robert Di Pietro.
She is now working on her solo album, and continues to perform in venues such as Joe’s Pub, Fez, Canal Room, and Knitting Factory. She also writes new songs for prominent DJs and producers, including a new project – Novisa, with DJ Smash. Currently working with
Djs Nickodemus, Da Groove Assassin (UK), and Zeb, as well as collaborating with european artists like Ici Aussi (Fr) and Emmanuel Donzella (Fr).

Wishing you an adventurous weekend. May it be full of fun,Laughter and love.....Here,have a drink on me.. because you are such a pretty and classy lady............................Friends,,,,,Gare Bear
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times... In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain, It's ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge, Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time. You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell, Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
