Polish sensation Basia rose to fame in the late eighties and early nineties for her Latin jazz-pop fusions of music. She is respected for her three-octave range of contralto to soprano tessitura. Basia began singing professionally when she was twenty-nine. A late bloomer by most standards but Basia's vocals and music tend to set their own standards of music.
