Lisa Ono (vocals, guitar), Masaki Hayashi (piano).

Born in São Paulo, Lisa Ono grew up between Brazil and Japan, two countries that would forever shape her artistic identity. She spent her childhood in Brazil, until the age of ten. At fifteen, she began singing and playing the guitar. Her debut album, Catupiry (1989), was the starting point of her career. Thereafter, with her natural voice, her rhythmic guitar playing and luminous presence, she became an essential figure for the popularisation of bossa nova in Japan.

Her album Dream (1999) sold over 200,000 copies in Japan. A four-time winner of the Japan Gold Disc Award in the Jazz category, in 2013 she was honoured by the Brazilian government, when the National Order of Rio Branco was bestowed upon her, reaffirming her status as an international reference in the genre. Throughout her career, she has performed on stages alongside icons such as Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Donato, bringing her music to audiences all over the world.

In April 2026, she will release her album Sue Ann ? Homage to Antonio Carlos Jobim, a delicate duo project with pianist Masaki Hayashi, conceived as a tribute to the founder of bossa nova in the year before the centenary of his birth. The album is a selection of Jobim's masterpieces revisited from the intimacy of the duo format. Through improvisation and musical dialogue, new insights are offered into a repertoire that is eternal.

Pianist and composer, Masaki Hayashi, develops his own projects and collaborates with artists such as Lisa Ono and other musicians like Ringo Sheena, LEO, Aska Maret, Seigen Tokuzawa and Kazuma Fujimoto. In the album Sue Ann ? Homage to Antonio Carlos Jobim (2026), Hayashi grapples not only with the piano, but also takes charge of arrangements and production, to build, with Ono, a refined, intimate soundscape. An encounter that celebrates the essence of bossa nova, projecting it into the present with sensitivity, respect and an unmistakable vocation for shared beauty.
