"She commands the stage with her elegant statuesque form and her easy banter draws you in, making the whole experience naturally intimate. However, it’s when Dos Santos grasps the retro microphone she sings into, and unfolds that tremendous earthy, sexy voice that you are captured." - Shelley Gummeson
