Monique captivates audiences with her unique ability to effortlessly cross musical boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in her Brazilian heritage. Her gifts are recognized both locally and internationally, with numerous performances alongside world-class musicians and collaborations that highlight her versatility.     As indicated above, Monique’s involvement with Bossa Nova Noites began in 2022 when she was selected to audition for BNN … with “Broken Promises” as the audition stopper.  Hébert’s says:  “Halfway through the first chorus, I said out loud in the studio: “Okay, enough of this ‘audition’ nonsense … this lady is the last stop on the train.”   Since then, Monique has become a pivotal figure in the project, lending her extraordinary vocal talent to BNN and solidifying her role as one of the most exciting new voices in the world. Her participation on “Broken Promises” exemplifies her own soulful commitment to bridging the gap between Brazilian rhythms and global genres, making her the perfect ambassador for Bossa Nova Noites as the project expands its international reach.     Indeed, Monique Elen carries well the torch for Bossa Nova Noites, representing a new era of Brazilian music on the international stage with ”Broken Promises.” This is just the beginning for her — as Monique is entering the studio soon with Hébert leading a producer team with his producer partner, the legendary Larry Williams of Quincy Jones and Al Jarreau fame, to craft Monique’s signature debut solo album. She is featured now in BNN TV projects; and she also is featured in upcoming BNN tours in the U.S. and Europe.
