I've enjoyed this album for years and it will be a timeless classic for many more to come. Pour some wine, sit on the patio and turn on Tanto Tempo.
A friend played this CD for me on my last visit to Paris and I now associate Paris with Bebel's Tanto Tempo CD.even though she's Brazilian and the music is not Parisian. I know nothing about Bossa Nova or Brazilian music but I got what she was portraying in these soulful and emotive songs. It just fit the time and place. You don't have to understand a word of what she's singing to understand what she's saying. Just incredible and can put you in such a great positive mood. A must have for your collection if you are open to varied music tastes.
I can't say that Bebel is my favorite artist but I do enjoy some of her songs. I originally was attracted to Bebel Giberto because of her voice & the main reason beacause of the track "August Day"(THE KING BRITT REMIX). If you have'nt heard it, its banana's(I love it). The rest of her songs put me to sleep,but someone must enjoy them beacause she has 4 freakin album thus far. If she had more songs like August Day Song & Aganju',she would have a big fan in me.
Produced by Suba, the multi-talented São Paulo electronica producer (who actually died while rescuing this recording material from a fire), Bebel's 2000 U.S. Sem Contençào 3:09 5. The complete album tracklist includes:1. So Nice (Summer Samba) 3:31 8. (Having defined the genre with his 1964 album, Getz/Gilberto, one can almost hear João Gilberto's genetic influence in these songs). Inquisitive minds wonder how many babies have been conceived as a result of this sensual recording. Beautiful (and still single) Brazilian chanteuse, Bebel Gilberto (1966), is the daughter of João Gilberto and singer Miúcha. Alguém 4:03 7.
Samba e Amor 3:27 11. Mais Feliz 4:15 6. Close Your Eyes 4:14G. August Day Song 4:37 3. debut album Tanto Tempo is an intoxicating, haunting fusion of bossa nova, música popular brasileira, samba, and latina pop. Lonely 2:23 9.
Samba da Benção 4:45 2. Tanto Tempo 2:58 4. Bananeira 3:25 10. Merritt
Bossa Nova for this generation. Bebel IS the real girl from Ipanema.
As the daughter of Joao & Astrud Gilberto, she has beautifully carried on the tradition of lush, mystical Brazilian bossa-nova at its most subtle and sublime. Not since Barry White's early grooves or the sensual crooning of Marvin Gay has there been such a delightful, soulful and sexy artist like Bebel Gilberto.
The fact that this reviewer speaks Brazilian Portuguese makes it even sweeter and more sultry. As whimsical and sensual as her mother, Bebel's Portuguese-tinged English vocals and straight "Brasileiro" songs need no translation, and the smoothly shuffling Bossa Nova goes straight to your hips and toes.
It's like a trip straight down to Rio or Sao Paulo. Wonderful, soulful, sexy and jazzy.
FANTASTIC.and on the Verve label, yet (for you jazz fans).
