Bebel Gilberto


BIG NEWS!
For Croatians and some other lucky people anyway...Bebel Gilberto, an amazing and legendary Brazilian vocalist is going to have a concert in Zagreb, Croatia (among other places) which makes me really happy. The concert will be held in Tvornica on 11th June at 20h and I will be there!

Just to give you some basic info about her background, because maybe some of you don't know this. She is from a famous musical family in Brazil. Her father is João Gilberto, her mother is the singer Miúcha, and her uncle (Miúcha's brother) is Chico Buarque de Hollanda. She learned how to sing with Miúcha, and since she was a child, she was already participating in professional musicals like Saltimbancos and Pirlimpimpim. At seven she had her recording debut on one of her mother's albums. At nine she performed together with her mother and Stan Getz at Carnegie Hall. (extract taken from http://www.vh1.com)

So you can imagine how this went on afterwards if she managed to impress at such an early age! Anyway, she will be going to other places as well which you can check on her myspace site (or official website) and I would suggest you to go there!
