Maysa, singer, a great Brazilian Diva from the 60's and 70's, makes a Loronix Debut with the album Maysa Sings Songs Before Dawn (1960).

This LP was released in US and Argentina only, being almost unknown in Brazil, this is a piece soared by collectors and fans. Maysa had a great success and recognition just before the Bossa Nova period. She is also a composer and developed her artistic career using a sentimental singing known as Fossa, a sort of style very influenced by boleros with sad lyrics and interpretations.
