But with the release of her upcoming new album, “Reloaded,” it would appear that is all about to change. Join me as I sit down with Marcia, one of Zouk’s hottest rising stars, to talk about her life growing up in Germany, the challenges one faces breaking into the music scene, and her new album.

The second part of my interview with Alen MacWeeney, whose Brazilian Zouk Photo Exhibition opens this Thursday, February 25th at Lava Gina in the East Village.
| NB: | You and I originally met last summer when you came upon us dancing in Central Park. In the two years we’ve been dancing in the Park many people have taken our photos and they always promise to send us copies, but they never do. You were the first. On top of that you came back to shoot us the following week. What is it that attracted you to the dance? |

For Zouk Nation’s first featured recording artist we were fortunate enough to have Eduardo Filizzola, the leader and originator of the Brazilian zouk group Banda Aixa, agree to be our first subject. Know that the following interview was conducted over the course of several days via email. During that time, he and I talked about his life, the motivating factor that finally made him take the leap to becoming a professional musician full time, and his ideas and feelings about his music.
