Lisa Ono 小野麗莎 @ The 37th Hong Kong Arts Festival

The 37th Hong Kong Arts Festival
Lisa Ono - A Celebration of 50 years of Bossa Nova


I am a big fan of Lisa Ono. Her distinct vocal, her exception guitar skills, and the Bossa Nova style are all the things I like about her. It is impressive to listen to a Japanese to sing in Portuguese and have a surprisingly pleasant sensation. I am so very excited finally attend to her live performance…

Lisa Ono was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She spent her childhood in Brazil until 10 years old. She started singing and playing the guitar when she was 15 years old and her debut as a professional Bossa Nova singer was in 1989. She has performed with many top musicians such as the legendary Antonio Carlos Jobim, the Jazz Samba giant Joao Donato, and has been performing enthusiastically in New York, Brazil and Asian countries. Her natural voice, rhythmic guitar playing, and her charming smile led her to a huge success and helped Bossa Nova to be popular in Japan. She has established a determined position in the Japanese Bossa Nova community.
