Bebel Gilberto, not only beautiful but also capable of making some really good music.
With a Brazilian background, a father who is called the father of Bossa Nova, a mother who was a singer and her uncle Chico Buarque (singer/songwriter) she evidently grew up with music. At the early age of seven she already gained some musical experience by singing on her mothers first solo album. By age nine she performed with her mother and famous jazz saxophonist Stan Getz.
The music of Bebel Gilberto always makes me happy and gives me that ‘lying-on-a-deserted-beach-enjoying-the-silence-and-nature’ feeling. She also reminds me somewhat of Sade, who you all know obviously (if not: go listen! now!). It’s the perfect music for the summer, not that you can’t listen to it when it’s winter, but you know what I mean.
So nice is also worth a listen.
