The singer, composer and musicologist, Ligiana is one daughter of
Brasília with restless blood and gypsy feet. After her graduating with
a degree in singing, Ligiana crossed the Atlantic to study Baroque
Music in Holland. From there she proceeded to Italy, where she began
to sing Brazilian popular music whilst concluding a master's degree in
musical philology. Once more the caravan called and Ligiana headed in
the direction of France, where she lived the last three years. In
Paris, she consolidated her relationship with popular music, she sang
a lot of samba in different concert halls and began to compose. From
that first harvest came songs like "Onda" and "Queda por um
Samba",which was composed by telephone in partnership with her father.
She went back sometimes to Italy to sing and she still found time to
write a doctorate thesis on Venetian Baroque opera for the
Universities of Tours and Milan. During those years in Paris she
conceived her first album, "de amor e mar", produced by Fernando
Cavaco and Alfredo Bello and recorded between São Paulo, Paris and
Brasília. Tom Zé, Hamilton de Holanda, Philippe Baden Powell, Marcelo
Pretto, Fernando Alves Pinto and Simone Sou all participated in the
album, the most important piece of the luggage of Ligiana, which now
celebrates her return to Brazil.
