Lisa Ono is one of the best Japanese interpreters of contemporary bossa nova. A singer, violonista (acoustic guitar player), and songwriter, she has had her albums released internationally. Having lived in Brazil until she was ten, she took advantage of her father's connections — he was the owner of a concurred nightclub in the city of Sao Paulo and was Baden Powell's manager. Moving back to Japan, he opened the Saci Perere nightclub, where Lisa Ono began to perform the Brazilian repertory, especially samba and bossa nova. She also founded the label Nana, which promotes Brazilian music in Japan. www.emimusic.com.tw/pop/lisaono www.avex.com.tw/lisaono
