This is my first concert of Bossa Nova !


Guess what !I already knew that Aya san & Megu san would go to concert today at Esplanade Theatre
.Accidentally my evening class was canceled becase it was heavy rain . Luckily Ochisan gave me a rest for tonight .

As a matter of fact I and Minorusan quickly decided to go Lisa Ono's concert at 8 pm.
The reason why I decided it was Hidekisan' s storong advice of his experience about concert .
Actually It was really interesting and unexpected .
Anyway we enjoyed Bossa Nova music even though we only know 3songs of that !
Ecepecially the song's name 「Home town 」故郷 .
All in all , It was a wonderful tonight! By the way I 'll start studying about Discourse Markers from now .

Lisa Ono has long been considered Japan's finest protégé of Bossa Nova. An exceptional singer, accomplished guitarist and songwriter, she has collaborated with numerous legendary musicians from Tom Jobim to Toots Thielemans and Henri Salvador.

Her style and voice is reminiscent of the Brazilian divas, Astrud Gilberto and Gal Costa, while her delivery and tone are exquisite.

Lisa Ono's mastery of the natural, laid-back Bossa Nova sound received the stamp of approval from the late Antonio Carlos Jobim, with whom she had collaborated.

Her distinctive interpretation of materials is extraordinary, giving popular classics a fresh, new lease of life.
