Product Description
Amazon.ca
Daughter of the famed Brazilian pop and bossa nova singer João Gilberto, Bebel recalls her father's own classic recordings on Tanto Tempo, with a sure sense of pitch. Bebel Gilberto is hardly less charming for that, though, and the album entices with hushed passion. Relying mostly on acoustic instruments and some muted orchestrations, Tanto Tempo is nonetheless smartly paced to allow for some tasteful dance-club electronics to augment a few tracks, and ends on a celebratory note with "Close Your Eyes"--all but an invitation to Carnival. The current trend for things Brazilian should assure this disc a deservedly wide audience. Licensing it for the U.S. is another minor triumph for the fine San Francisco-based label Six Degrees. --Rickey Wright

By Juan Olvera
Format:Audio CD
Bebel Gilberto, daugher of legendary Jao Gilberto, introduced herself in the US with her premier Tanto Tempo. If you enjoy the classic bossa nova artists such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, then you will definitely love this cd. It is a simulacrum of classic bossa nova but with a contemporary feel to it. The cd also includes the classic 'So Nice'. Listen to this cd and drink a nice mocha. The cd Tanto Tempo and coffee seem to be a nice mix.

Format:Audio CD
A generally dull album : dark and confused sound quality, very conservative, second hand compositions, unispired singing.

If you have to purchase a CD from Bebel Gilberto, this is your best bet. It is one of my favourites, especially in the summer :-)

Perfect background

Tanto Temptress
There is a certain kind of mid- to late-summer day that is characterized by hazy sunshine, warm, languid breezes that seem to carry a whiff of the salty sea and cool, mellow music... Read more

Samba e Amor.

Better than Mother!
Bebel is a marvelous tribute to her parents. Her voice is sweeter than Astrud's. Her style is retro enough to be classic. Read more
