Brazilian vocalist Bebel Gilberto is back in the US and will be kicking off her tour in Washington DC on Nov 23. She'll be playing songs from All In One, her rhythmically focused new album that's mostly sung in Portuguese. Bebel continues to put her own poppy spin on the heart and soul of traditional Brazilian music.
A few tidbits about Bebel:
• Yes, she is the daughter of João Gilberto who performed that super famous version of "The Girl From Ipanema"
• You've heard her breezy, throaty voice on collaborations with David Byrne, Amon Tobin, Thievery Corporation and more.
• There are a slew of guest collaborators on the All In One, including including Carlinhos Brown (Caetano Veloso), Didi Gutman (Brazilian Girls), Mark Ronson, Daniel Jobim (grandson of Antonio Carlos Jobim) and John King (the Dust Brothers.)
• Mark Ronson produced the Stevie Wonder-penned song “The Real Thing,” which was originally recorded by Sergio Mendes. And yup, that's The Dap Kings, (Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse) on the track as well.
