We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Tomoko Nozawa
Samba and Bossa Nova Vocalist

Tomoko Nozawa grew up in Tochigi Prefecture but found her heart and her voice in Brazil. She started singing jazz in the 1990s but was seduced by Brazilian music. Now her renditions of bossa nova and samba classics and originals in Portuguese and Japanese will seduce you. In 2005, she released her first CD “Encontro,” with a guest appearance by famed Brazilian guitarist Toninho Horta. "Encontro" rose into the top 10 of the HMV world music chart. She has just released her second CD, "Shiawase no Hana." For her gig at the FCCJ, Tomoko will be backed by Yoshiaki Shigehisa on piano, Noriaki Suko on guitar and percussionist Kepel Kimura. Check out Tomoko's phenomenal voice at:
