Nara Leão has to be one of my favorite artists of all time. If you're looking into bossa nova and are interested in learning more about the genre, please give her a listen! she's the reason I became interested in brazilian culture and learned a new language as well!

I recommend listening to these albums:
"Dez anos depois" (1971)
"Nara" (1964)
"Obras-Primas" (1996)
