This is Alta Vista's translation from Portuguese to English (edited by ex-pc): "Kaki was born in Atlanta, U.S.A., and at five years of age she had a very small guitar and started music lessons. In Kaki's adolescence she discovered her idols: Alex de Grassi, Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke. Her style is without vocals, but in her hands her guitar becomes a true orchestra. After leaving Atlanta, she lived in NYC. She started to play in the subway and worked in a bar to earn money to live on. In 2002 she recorded her first independent compact disc which got the attention of the Velour label (which launched Soulive), and Kaki signed a recording contract with them in March of 2003. Long life for Kaki." I heartily agree with that last sentiment.
