Lígia (Antônio Carlos Jobim)

Bossa Nova would not have been the same without the presence of Nara Leão who unfortunately passed away in 1989, far too young to go… When I heard this song for the first time I got very emotional and thought to myself that only someone who deeply loved Nara could have written such a delicate and beautiful song. When I asked Menescal about the story of this song, he said: “Nara was indeed composed especially for her, an amazing person, besides being a rare artist. We composed it when we did a big concert for the 40th anniversary of Bossa Nova in Tokyo, because we felt that Nara had somehow to be present in this show for all her involvement with Bossa Nova from the very beginning.”
