Brazilian singer/songwriter Claudia Leitte earned her musical stripes as part of the multiple-platinum-selling axé band Babado Novo. She then recorded her solo album, Ao Vivo em Copacabana, in front of a one million-strong crowd in 2008. The magic happens somewhere between romantic balladry and fast-paced party pop, when Leitte's rich, perfectly pitched vocals converge with her talent for writing catchy chart-toppers. This playlist allows the Latin GRAMMYⓇ and World Music Award nominee to shine at her brightest.
