August Bebel

Tanto Tempo Remixes is the 2001 remix album by Bebel Gilberto. It features remixes of songs from her debut album, Tanto Tempo, by the likes of Da Lata, Peter Kruder, King Britt, Rae & Christian, Mario Caldato Jr. and many more.

Bebel Gilberto will release her new album in August 2023 via [PIAS] Recordings. Entitled “Joao”, the album is a collection of songs made famous by her father João Gilberto, widely regarded as the “father of Bossa Nova music. João Gilberto passed away in 2019 after a 70 year career in music. Bebel began singing with him as a small child and the songs she sings on this new album have been with her all her life. Says Bebel- "João" is a love letter to my father. Since my first album I've never really covered any of my Dad's music. Now it's time to present to the public the songs from João Gilberto that have influenced me since I was born- and even before”. The release of the “Joao” album will be followed by a world tour with dates to be announced shortly.

Bebel has an amazing, soothing voice that floats over the intricate, layered music beautifully. She takes the samba and bossa nova of her father (famous João Gilberto) and his contemporaries and adds the subtle touches of trip-hop and groove music, and the result is amazing. Sung in both English and Portuguese, the music ranges from soft and romantic to high-energy samba to delightfully jazzy. Includes ever-popular "So Nice (Summer Samba)" song.

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.
