I don't know much about Maria Gadu. From observations, well she's pretty boyish, androgynous. At first I want to presume that she's lesbian, but from all the videos I've seen of her in Youtube, I think she has the biggest crush on Leandro Leo. Well, who doesn't have a crush on Leandro Leo? The way he fingers his guitar is nothing short of SMEXY. You add his voice to the equation, SMEXIER.

But for this post, it's all about Maria. (Will definitely have time for Leandro in future posts!)

I was actually looking through more Sandy and Junior videos. I was feeling pretty nostalgic, Quando Voce Passa has been always stuck in my head since 2006. So today, I got on youtube again, looking for my good acoustic versions of the song, and then there I found Maria. She's pretty darn good, and to tell you the truth I prefer her tone of voice than Sandy's Disney-ish pitch.

guitar chords here! :D

UPDATE [2.10.2012]

Had I not tried to edit this post to add the song details, I would've never found out that this was actually a cover of another Brazilian artist. I'm sorry Kelly Key, I don't know you well, but I'm passing judgement. That original "Baba" video is maybe one of the sluttiest things I've ever seen or heard! Thank God for Maria Gadu! If not for this cover, I would've never cared for this song!

No, I won't be posting a link to the original song. You can try and search for it yourself. Although I really hope you won't, I'm trying to save you from wasting your time.
