Gong Linna (Chinese: 龚琳娜; born 1 August 1975) is a Chinese fusion singer. Her style is one which combines the traditional "lightness" and "ch'i" of centuries-old melodies with new lyrics. She is also known for her collaboration with her ex-husband, German composer Robert Zollitsch, as well as Portuguese fado musician António Chainho.[1][2]
