Ana Luisa Ramos' new album includes blue skies and Brazilian vibes
CBC
Ana Luisa Ramos never expected her new album, Amanhaceu, would be finished on an island in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The singer-songwriter began recording songs for the album in her home country of Brazil, but after a big move, wound up completing the project in her new home of Newfoundland and Labrador.
"People here in Newfoundland and Labrador, they are really curious about different cultures," said Ramos.
"I'm really, really glad to be here because I have been feeling a lot of support here."
Ramos began singing in choirs as a child in her hometown of Ribeirao Preto, Brazil.
When she was a teenager, she moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city, to study and perform mostly classical music.
For the past decade, she has had a second career in Brazilian popular music, incorporating elements of bossa nova, pop, and rock and roll, mostly sung in Portuguese.
