With the release of her first international album over twenty years ago, Bebel Gilberto has proved ever since that she’s not just “somebody’s daughter”, and certainly not a spoiled child. Her father? João Gilberto, one of the founders and giants of 20th century Brazilian popular music. Her mother? Miúcha, also a singer and the sister of another pillar of Brazilian music, Chico Buarque. Bebel Gilberto, born in 1966, at the height of the bossa wave, couldn’t help but take part in the long and rich history of Brazilian music - it’s in her name and her blood. Yet the singer made a name and a style for herself by modernizing it, and introducing it to the era of electronic music. And then life caught up to her. In 2018, she lost her mother, and her father the following year.
As the title suggests, João is an homage to the songs of her legendary father – a repertoire that she had explored very little, despite “Bim Bom'' being a memorable track from her 2009 album, All in One. While still avoiding a period piece, Bebel chooses here to put aside the electronic and pop arrangements. With the haute couture producer Thomas Bartlett, Bebel Gilberto dresses up these songs with a little something special: a bit of acoustic guitar, a few piano notes, flowery percussion and that voice that comes out of a slightly sad smile. Full of restraint, elegance, and emotion, this album distinguishes itself within Bebel Gilberto’s discography by its silence. Indeed, it’s the absence and the loss of her father that she’s singing. © Stéphane Deschamps/Qobuz
