Ana Lucia Ribeiro Caram (born 1 October 1958) is a Brazilian singer, guitarist, and flautist who sings jazz, samba, and bossa nova music.[1] Caram was born in São Paulo to a family versed in musical expression. She graduated from São Paulo University with a degree in musical composition and conducting. In Rio she became a protégé of Antonio Carlos Jobim,[2][3] the primary developer of the bossa nova style. Caram's own style is a blend of bossa nova and jazz.[4] She performed with Paquito D'Rivera at Carnegie Hall for the 1989 JVC Jazz Festival.[3]
