Ana & Eric
A Brazilian duo based in St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador: Ana Luísa Ramos and Eric Taylor Escudero blend Brazilian bossa nova with North American indie-folk, in English and Portuguese — tropical sun over Newfoundland's windy landscapes.
Biography
Ana Luísa Ramos and Eric Taylor Escudero have performed together since 2012. Arriving from Brazil in St. John's in late 2019, the duo built a repertoire where their two worlds meet: Brazilian bossa nova and popular music on one side, North American indie-folk on the other, sung in English and Portuguese.
After the singles “Hope” and “Lights My Way”, their debut EP (The Citadel House, 2020) earned one ECMA Award nomination and three MusicNL Award nominations. The album Our House From Here (2023) — the story of a new home in a new country — was acclaimed in Brazil, Portugal and Canada, with the singles “I Can See Our House From Here” and “Manhã de Abril”.
Ana Luísa Ramos also leads an award-winning solo career: Jazz Artist and Global Artist of the Year at the 2024 MusicNL Awards, then Global Release of the Year at the 2025 ECMAs for “Clouds”. The duo's sophomore album, Older Than Sadness, is set for early 2027, led by the single “Autumn Bliss” (September 2026).
