• Lygia Campos is a German-based, Brazilian singer, pianist and songwriter “Meu Nome É Brasil“(My Name is Brazil) is her latest album - including a duet with Ivan Lins - a long-time admirer of Lygia’s work. She is backed by an exceptional band led by leading Brazilian guitarist, Paulo Morello.

• The album reveals her rich variety of styles including a modern interpretation of a solid Samba-Batucada, as well as cool ambient loops, bossa nova flair, complex Brazilian pop compositions, fast jazz improvisations and the African rhythms of Black Brazil. Arabic colouring and a French lyric are presented in an intimate ballad and with the swinging tune “Amigos do Rio“ Lygia pays tribute to her Brazilian homeland and salutes the cheerful Cariocas, the people of Rio de Janeiro.

• Born in Rio de Janeiro, Lygia Campos studied journalism and music. She performed in Rio’s most famous clubs and made numerous appearances with her trio on TV. One of her professors was Luiz Eca, the pianist with the legendary Tamba Trio and a central figure in Brazilian bossa nova history.

• In 1991, Lygia moved to Germany where she began to delight audiences with her repertoire of bossa nova and latin jazz, infused with Afro-Brazilian and Arabic rhythms. She supported / guested with appearances with many headliners including : Billy Cobham, Sheila Jordan, Bill Wyman, Tuck & Patti and the NDR Big Band.
