As years go by, Manu Le Prince stands out today as one of the most beautiful voices of latin jazz in France. A singer known for her warm and sensuous vocal timbre, she is also an accomplished lyric writer and composer, so adding to her interpretations of standard jazz songs a very personal touch, giving them a new dimension. Born in Paris with anglo-argentinian origins and brazilian by heart, Manu has been living between France and Brazil during the latest twenty years. Mixing intimately the Jazz music that rocked her childhood with Bossa Nova and MPB, Manu has been so following a path to success that started with her performances with Christian Vander's mythical french jazz band Magma, until more recently, through her collaboration with renowned brazilian peformers such as trombonist Raul de Souza ...

In 2008, true to her long-time love for pre- and post-war traditional jazz, Manu records a new album alongside some close musical friends, who also happen to be some of the finest jazz musicians in Paris, such as the "incontournable" Alain Jean Marie, Didier & Francis Lockwood, Stephane Belmondo, Rhoda Scott... On this project she chose to state her personal approach to the romanticism, sensuality and elegance of the legendary writer / composer Cole Porter. TRIBUTE TO COLE PORTER (Sergent Major/Harmonia Mundi) -the album has been released on October 13th 2008 - coinciding with her appearance in the JVC Jazz Festival / Sunside in Paris- Amongst big dates Manu also performs at the Sao Paulo Thetre Sesc Pinheiros on on the 24 of february during her last Brazil Tour with this last project.
