The latest album from one of the hippest Bossa Nova performers in the world, Lisa Ono's "SOUL & BOSSA" is out and what a wonderful and pleasant album.For those not familiar with Lisa Ono, Lisa's roots on bossa nova music came at an early age with her father having a club in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When the family moved to Japan, her father opened up a restaurant which featured bossa nova and samba music.

Having released many albums since 1989 in English, French and Portguese, her 2007 album "SOUL & BOSSA" features the artist singing covers of popular songs such as Carol King's "You've Got A Friend", Otis Redding's classic"(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay", Marvin Gaye's "What's Going on", Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed", James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and much more and giving them a bossa nova spin.

Her takes on songs such as the James Brown and Marvin Gaye classic turns out remarkably well. I just found the bossa nova interpretations of the classics on this album done to be remarkably done and gives a fresh dulcet interpretation at the songs that many of us enjoyed for so long. ~Dennis A.

  2. Despite creating some history making recordings, Astrud Gilberto always evoked a sense of her personal humbleness. The result was a style of romantic singing that while quiet and reserved was so much sexier and romantic than anything ever heard before... Lisa Ono has much of that same appeal... honesty & openness in these times when lies & hate seem to be overwhelming the world.
