Astrud Gilberto
Astrud Gilberto
Salvador, BRpop, jazz
2.5bn all-time streams (9 Jan '26)
Best known as the vocalist with the honey-toned, lamb-like delivery on the surprise Brazilian crossover hit "The Girl from Ipanema," Astrud Gilberto parlayed her previously unscheduled appearance (and professional singing debut) on the song into a lengthy career.
While in attendance at the 1963 Getz/Gilberto (Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto) album sessions, Astrud's knowledge of English and singular vocal tone won her the guest spot and ultimately propelled "The Girl from Ipanema" onto the international charts, including a Top Five placement in the U.S., and influenced a variety of sources in worldwide pop and jazz music.
