The event advertises "a preview of the 2012 season," so [...]

Bebel Gilberto, fortunate daughter of bossa legend João Gilberto and singer Miúcha (she's also Chico Buarque's niece ), has carved out one of the bigger Brazilian footholds in the American popular consciousness, largely due to her bilingual productions (she was born in New York City, and speaks and writes fluently in English and Portuguese) and her willingness to fuse groove sounds with more traditional bossa nova fare. Her lounge recordings are solid enough - it's always nice to hear tracks from the Tropicalia canon at a club - but she's at her strongest when she [...]

Manhattan, by lolmariam You might have noticed things have been a little quiet around these parts, but there is an explanation, I promise. I recently moved to New York, to a new (demanding) career and a new place, and it has impacted the time I can spend here. Not to worry, beautiful music in Portuguese will continue to be heard, albeit perhaps not as frequently as when I was an unemployed "vagrant". The move to New York implies other benefits, among the most important the sheer amount of Lusophone concerts that [...]

Bebel Gilberto w/ Venicius Cantuaria : One Note Samba/The Girl From Ipanema [ purchase ] Daughter of Brazilian singer-songwriters and composers João Gilberto, who is generally credited with inventing the Bossa Nova beat, and his wife Miúcha, whose career began at age 38 when her husband brought her in as a performing partner for his work with Stan Getz, Bebel Gilberto made her Carnegie Hall debut at just nine years old, singing alongside her parents and the inimitable Stan Getz. Today, she brings a perfect balance of modern beats [...]

Sunday night arrives, confused as always. It's not sure what it is – it's a weekend night, but only in name. It's not a particularly liked night. Sunday night makes people remember what the next week's to-do lists, it drives students to their homework desks, frantically trying to make up for the weekend's proclivities, and it makes you curse silently about the injustice of it all. Sunday night though is also a time for dreaming, for quiet reflection, for some downtime. And that's where I can help you out. There might be few things better in life than [...]

Last Saturday, we sent C=T contributor Charles Killingsworth to cover the lovely Bebel Gilberto. Babel has certainly grown into her own, spawning from the roots of bosa nova with her father João Gilberto and mother Miúcha who were active at the foundation of what has become the bossa nova sound we know currently.Though I had heard of Bebel before tonight, I had never seen her in concert nor have I listened to much of her music. As a lover of Sade, Os Mutantes and the Gotan Project I thought it seemed [...]

Toronto - Last night Bebel Gilberto brought her Bossa Nova influenced music to Toronto as part of a tour promoting her latest album, All In One . Opening for Miss Gilberto was Vancouver-based Alex Cuba, a Cuban-born musician. Together the two shows provided for a solid night of latin music that varied from laidback chill vibes to upbeat dance-friendly fun. Alex Cuba is an afro-sporting musician that has fused elements of soul & funk with Cuban music into a style all his own. He plays electric guitar [...]
