"Rita.. The cosmic crooner
The space dust chanteuse
The spotlight star of the ghost riders in the sky gypsy caravan.
Autodidact, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter & scholar of esoteric magic and folk tunes from the Balkans to the Bosporus and beyond. Her twilight purr, typically accompanied by the hum of a spacecraft engine or a tremolo laser beam, seems both foreign & futuristic — yet warmly familiar, as it's evocative of the ancient traditions that lurk dormant in the collective caveman unconscious that lays coiled up in us all, waiting to emerge.
Rita Braga is the top torch singer working today; a titan, an inspiration, and a maverick of style. If Vegas had any class anymore she would be booked solid at The Sands through the next century."
- Ian Svenonius
“Número Primo, 11, é o número de músicas, canções, histórias com ou sem texto; um instrumental abre por vezes o sonho de ser conto, fábula.
Illegal Planet é uma curiosa aventura de Rita Braga que decidiu criar sem recriar o seu Time Warp e juntar-se a alguns alienígenas muito humanos nas suas colaborações, astrais.
A Rita prima por ser única no seu método e por isso só se pode dividir por ela própria.
Os ritmos os sons nada incandescentes a voz os dedos as cordas: tudo é mínimo mas intenso.
Estes números são Infinitos, são Primos, como nós.
Parabéns à Prima, é Obra“
