Leny Andrade (Leny de Andrade Lima - Jan 1st, 1943 Rio de Janeiro) acquired a solid reputation as a singer and improviser, acknowledged by the many top musicians who have performed with her. Leny Andrade's eclectic style became better defined with the advent of bossa nova, through which she introduced jazz elements into her singing. Finally, she opted for a synthesis of samba-jazz that refutes much of the delicacy and attention to the lyrics as proposed by bossa nova, in favor of a more energetic interpretation.
