Ana Caram was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1958. She comes from a musical family and studied guitar and flute in her younger years. Later, she attended Sao Paulo University and earned a degree in composition and conducting. After her education, she became a protégé of Brazilian Bossa Nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Pursuing her career with the same passion and energy as her music, she meets with the Godfather of Brazilian sounds, Antônio Carlos Jobim. Internationally hailed for his haunting melodies, he has been a Brazilian musical hero for over thirty years. "Ana came to see me in Rio," Jobim reports. "She played the guitar and sang for me. I could at once see she was a very talented girl."

 

And so, Ana began to build a considerable following in Brazil, touring the country and recording. But it was a trip to Finland that eventually led her to New York. While performing at the Sea Jazz Festival, she met Paquito D'Rivera. He then honored Ana with an invitation to sing with his band as part of the JVC Jazz Festival at Carnegie Hall.

Ana Caram has earned much admiration and respect for her beautiful and captivating renditions of these classics in the past, and with Blue Bossa, she continues to perform them with a special brilliance and panache.
