Lisa Ono Music

I love Lisa Ono, I think I have all her CD's, and like any artist, her CD's have good songs and not so good songs. Well, this CD is absolutely solid, there is not one weak song on this CD. This is the CD you want in your collection.

I've visited countries where the local rhythm is the samba and the bossa nova, and Lisa Ono is definitely world-class. If you're a fan of this genre, or looking for music to relax to, start with this CD. Once you're hooked, you'll definitely want to get her other compilations as well!

Lisa Ono is fabulous. From the opening track its like sitting on warm beach with a pina colada, pure relaxation. She can sing with any of the great Brazilian singers. Her voice is outstanding, the song selection great and the musicianship top notch. I particularly like the title track and Nao Tem Nada Nao, which I know from Marcos Valle's version. I was very happy to hear that. As usual I could deal without some of the string arrangements but will put up with it just to hear her gorgeous voice. She is probably my favorite "new" artist, new to me that is, having discovered her within the past year or so. Too bad her discs are hard to find in the US. I hope she would come to the US and play Yoshi's on Oakland, a Japanese club no less!

Lisa owns perhaps one of the best female's voice singing Bossa Nova & Brazilian Jazz and by far. And if you don't believe it, just purchase this album and witness it yourself. I also admire other Brazilian singers such as Elis,Ana,Leila,Rosa, Astrud etc. etc., but the pitch,phrasing,taste,performance and interpretation of Lisa's are peerless: and if on top of that you add the contirbution of a Bossa Nova Monster like Joao Donato, this album is nothing but a bliss and a bless to your ears; the best songs to my opinion: Minha Saudade & Quem Diz que Sabe. Please do yourself a big favor and purchase this album; you won't ever regret it !!!!!.

Lisa Ono brings back the Bossa Nova. I'm a big fan. This is her best album!

This is a wonderfull CD with very good arrangements and a fantastic guitar player Romero Lubambo who especially on Labita is playing the angels from the sky.

b.t.w. what is hard core bossa???

;-)

I was very dissappointed in this new CD. There is not much real bossa nova rhythm in this CD, just mild hints of it. And some tunes are nowhere close to bossa. I prefer here fantastic earlier recordings that contains real hard core bossa nova. NK
