Chanteuse sans frontières, Manu Le Prince a su s'imposer au fil des années comme l'une des plus belles voix du Latin Jazz de l’hexagone...  Vocaliste au timbre chaud et sensuel, auteur-compositeur, elle sait aussi comme interprète, teinter de sa personnalité les standards et leur donner une dimension nouvelle. Brésilienne de cœur et anglo-argentine de par ses origines, Manu se partage depuis plus d'une vingtaine d'années entre Paris et Rio, mêlant intimement avec bonheur le Jazz qui a bercé son enfance à la musique ethnique ou brésilienne, prolongeant ainsi un parcours haut en couleurs.Manu revient à la création avec "In a Latin Mood" nouvel opus comptant dix musiques originales plus une reprise de Nougaro, un album co-réalisé avec le percussionniste argentin Minino Garay. Manu y fait appel à la fine fleur de la scène de jazz actuelle : Baptiste Trotignon, Grégory Privat, Marc Berthoumieux, Giovanni Mirabassi ou même  Kenny Barron, et écrit les textes sur leurs musiques - dont certaines inédites -
