Few musical styles have the ability to affect the tidal currents of the human heart like bossa nova. Bebel Gilberto was born into a royal lineage of the genre, as her father, João Gilberto, penned many of its definitive classics. The combination of musically rich chords with energetic rhythms set up Gilberto’s music as the perfect vibe for grabbing a drink on the beach—and then crying into it. Equal parts leisurely and vibrant, Gilberto’s voice has few musical comparisons and her 21-year song catalog is sure to leave the Guild Theatre’s audience spellbound.
