Bebel Gilberto

Bebel Gilberto’s coy and soothing bossa nova descends from her father João Gilberto, diva mother Miúcha (Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda), and singing uncle Chico Buarque de Hollanda. As such, the Brazilian prodigy started making waves by 7 when she debuted on her mother’s first solo album. In 1991 she moved to New York, adding electro and dance rhythms to the traditional samba and jazz of her native homeland. – Isabella Castro-Cota
