Japanese-Brazilian bossa nova singer Lisa Ono will treat local music lovers to a night of light and catchy tunes this Christmas.

Ono’s natural voice, rhythmic guitar playing and charming smile made her a huge success and popularized bossa nova, a genre of Brazilian music, in Japan. In 1991 her album “Nana” won the Grand Prix Gold Disk Award for Jazz in Japan. Her 1999 album “Dream” sold more than 200,000 copies in Japan, and since then she has established a determined position in the Japanese bossa nova community.

Ono’s voice is soothing, and her records were introduced to the Chinese mainland in 2004, immediately becoming popular among music enthusiasts. Every year, Ono gave sold-out shows in China.

She has performed with many top musicians such as Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Donato, and has been performing in destinations like New York City, Brazil and across Asia. Her appearances in Japan include concerts at the Blue Note Tokyo with Toninho Horta and Emilio Santiago.
