Toronto – Brazillian songstress Bebel Gilberto is currently on tour promoting her latest album All In One. It’s a laid-back blend of Bossa Nova with modern influences. You can read our full review of the album here. Her tour brings her to Canada in the end of November where she will be playing both in Montreal (at L’Astral 2000) and then at Toronto’s Sound Academy.
I remember fondly the last time I saw Bebel Gilberto play Toronto at the Mod Club. Her show had been delayed because she had broken her foot I believe. In any case, seeing Bebel play live was like drinking refreshingly cold water directly from some kind of crazy moonlit waterfall. It was good clean fun. I’m a huge fan of her step-mom Astrud Gilberto, and her rendition of Astrud’s So Nice was a highlight of the show.
Attached are some samples her latest album, including Stevie Wonders The Real Thing, which was a collaboration with Mark Ronson and the Dap-Kings.
Tickets are availble through her web-site. Better yet, you can avoid Ticketmaster surcharges by picking them up at Rotate This.
