Teka

Brazilian Jazz vocalist & guitarist. The “authentic Brazilian feel” is her trade-mark, setting h Téka has a summer evening breeze quality to her voice always.

A native of Londrina, Paraná, Téka became equally entranced by American jazz. As her artistry grew, her talented singing and guitar playing fused the sensual rhythms and harmonies of Brazil with the sophistication and improvisation of jazz – a fascinating musical blend she calls New Bossa. Téka has performed and recorded with Brazilian legends Hermeto Pascoal , Gilberto Gil, Flora Purim and Airto

"Caught this little sucker in my basement this morning. I thought I'd break his little neck for sure as soon as I got a hand on him. But then as I looked into his pathetic, cute little face, I began to question this entitlement I had to whether another creature should continue existing or not just because he had been occupying the same space as me...

Long story short: I caught a mouse in my basement, stared at it for a really long time, and then walked it to the park. We are all blessed to share this air today...breathe deep." ❤❤❤
