Bossa nova star's sure to shine

Japanese-Brazilian bossa nova singer Lisa Ono will close her 2011 China tour with a concert at Beijing's Workers' Gymnasium on Dec 31.

During the past four months, the singer-songwriter has performed in 10 Chinese cities, including Shandong province's Qingdao, Hunan's provincial capital Changsha, and Fujian province's Xiamen, singing hits from her 30 albums.

The Sao Paulo, Brazil, native first performed in China in 2004. She gave her first concert in the capital at the Olympic Sports Center in January 2009 and returned later that year.
