For almost twenty five years, Celia Malheiros has resided in the San Francisco Bay Area, and most summers she returns to her native Brazil to perform in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo with many of the extraordinary artists who have recorded with her including Hermeto Pascoal and Joao Bosco.

Celia was born in Rio de Janeiro, a place where music and dance are paramount in the culture. Celia was immersed and surrounded by music as a child and she picked up the guitar and accompanied her mother who loved to sing. She developed her own fingerings, and began to play chords, loving the feel and sound of the guitar. Then, she began to learn the cavaquinho, an instrument similar to the ukulele, and took it wherever she went, leading her into the world of improvising and composing.
