One of the truly great Brazilian vocalists on the New York scene, Vanessa Falabella has a range and a repertoire that is as great as her charm and charisma.
Born in the state of Minas Gerais (which has produced many Brazilian musical legends including Milton Nascimento), Vanessa sings everything from traditional samba and bossa nova, to jazz, MPB (Brazilian popular music), soul, and R&B.
Vanessa has performed at New York's top venues including SOB's, Town Hall, The Supper Club, Cafe Wha, Joe's Pub, and Zinc Bar. She has performed and recorded with Marcus Viana, Cyro Baptista, The RainForest Band, Cesar Camargo Mariano, Sadao Watanabe, Gato Barbieri, Hiram Bullock, among others. She opened for Bob Dylan's Brazilian Tour, performed at the Taste of Jazz Festival in Miami, and has traveled the world as a featured performer. In Brazil, she has recorded soundtracks for some of the famous Brazilian television "novelas" as well as commercials including a Brazilian Presidential Campaign.
Vanessa is available with her group "Rhythm Circle," or various small-to-large ensembles depending on the occasion.
