Influenced
by both Brazilian diva-esque pop stars like Gal Costa and outsider psychedelia
such as Os Mutantes, Bebel Gilberto is an accomplished and multi-faceted singer
who places little limitation on her sound. Though her music fluctuates amongst
downtempo electronica and Latin Pop, her primary focus is in bossa nova.
Gilberto
was born in New York City, New York, US on 12 May 1966; however, she grew up in
Rio de Janerio, Brazil. Her parents are renowned bossa nova pioneers João
Gilberto and Miúcha, both collaborators of the great Stan Getz. They are also
of Brazilian descent, but were living in New York City around the time of their
daughter’s birth. Her uncle, Chico Buarque is also an incredibly talented
singer and songwriter. Provided Bebel’s strong musical background it is no
surprise that she started sining at a very young age. Bebel was constantly
surrounded by music growing up and became acquainted with several of her
parents’ musical friends such as David Byrne, Caetano Veloso, and Stan Getz,
the later whom she would go on to perform with at Carnegie Hall when she was
only 9 years old.
