We honor the legendary life and fabulously breezy tone of Astrud Gilberto with a couple of takes on her signature song “The Girl From Ipanema.”
Ready your virtual passport for stamping, we’re going to Brazil. Legendary bossa nova and samba performer Astrud Gilberto has died at the age of 83 and we’re celebrating her life with a couple of versions of her most famous standard “The Girl From Ipanema” — original flavor and disco. Gilberto is said to have crafted the English lyrics to the song which was composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim with Portuguese lyrics by Vinícius de Moraes. Enjoy the trip down “Girl From Ipanema” lane alongside a few more choice cuts featuring Gilberto’s trademark breezy tone.
And as though it was cosmically ordained, we’re giving you chances at tickets to check out more Brazilians, each carrying the legacy of Gilberto and her bossa nova brethren in their own way. The gentle rhythms of Sessa await at Lodge Room on Friday, June 16 and the virtuosic guitar stylings of Fabiano do Nascimento will command that same Lodge Room stage on Wednesday, June 21. Either, or any other of our stellar ticket giveaways can be yours for the price of an email. Find ‘em all here.
