Description
Astrud Gilberto born Astrud Evangelina Weinert (March 29, 1940 - June 5, 2023) was a Brazilian samba and bossa nova singer and songwriter. She gained international attention in the mid-1960s following her recording of the song 'The Girl from Ipanema'. Astrud Gilberto (born March 1940) was probably the first Brazilian artist to gain worldwide fame. As a teenager she met and later married Joao Gilberto, the well-known singer-songwriter and then emigrated to the USA. There, in 1963 she sang on the song 'The Girl from Ipanema' from the album 'Getz/Gilberto'. The single version, featuring Astrud Gilberto's English lyrics rather than the original Portuguese lyrics became a million-seller, and a worldwide smash hit. The popularity of this single led to a lifelong career, spanning 4 decades and 16 album recordings. These songs were recorded in the late seventies, produced by Hank O'Neal and Astrud Gilbrto, and feature Chet Baker.
