Carlos Lyra

Carlos Lyra is a Brazilian musician and composer of numerous bossa nova classics. He was born on May 11, 1939. Along with Roberto Menescal, he was a primary figure of the younger generation of bossa nova musicians who closely followed the inception of the style by João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Later, he joined Nara Leão as part of the bossa's activist wing, seeking a return to its samba roots. He continues to compose, record, and perform today. Lyra's most famous compositions include "Coisa Mais Linda", "Voc e Eu", "Maria Ningum" (once claimed by Jacqueline Kennedy to be her favorite song), and "Influncia do Jazz".
