biography:

Famous Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto, performing samba and bossa nova music, was born in 1940 in Salvador
When Astrud was seven years old, her family moved to Rio de Janeiro, and in 1959 the future singer married João Gilberto, who is considered to be one
of the founders of Bossa Nova style
That marriage predetermined Gilberto's future, and before that she did not even think about the professional musical career

In 1963 Astrud and her husband moved to the USA, and the same year album Getz/Gilberto was released
It included the famous composition The Girl From Ipanema, which turned out to be her first professional record
The success was incredible .......
In 1965 The Girl From Ipanema won the Grammy Award in the nomination Record Of The Year, and Gilberto gained the worldwide popularity
Her debut solo album titled The Astrud Gilberto Album was issued in 1965
That LP became the real hit and attracted numerous music lovers' attention to Astrud's creativity
She not only performed Brazilian songs, but also popular American compositions, including famous Bart Howard's Fly Me To The Moon

In the 70's Gilberto tried to compose, and her own songs were enjoyed by listeners and musical experts
In 1976 Astrud's creation titled Live Today won the Award at International Tokyo Music Festival, and that fact proved the highest level of Brazilian
singer's skills
In spite of the long and fruitful career, she still has plenty of fresh ideas that she realizes in her creativity
Thus the album Jungle including ten new of Astrud's songs was released in 2002

She also issued compilation albums, which became wonderful presents to many Gilberto's fans
One of the brightest compilation albums appeared in 2004 and it was titled Astrud For Lovers
That record included such unquestionable hits as World Stop Turning, Look To The Rainbow and The Shadow Of Your Smile
Definitely, one of the most important elements of Astrud's music is atmosphere ..... and every album proves that perfectly
If you are just going to get acquainted with Gilberto's art, you may choose any album ..... they are all of the highest quality
