Today I want to talk about the amazing Astrud Gilberto, the Brazilian queen of bossa nova. In the early sixties she scored a huge hit with saxophone genius Stan Getz' interpretation of 'The Girl from Ipanema', a beautiful composition used in numerous commercials. I discovered Astrud's mysterious and sexy but fragile voice on the track 'Black Magic' (hit the 'free user'-button to download), a sunny song that always manages to put a smile on my face...
She has indeed a sexy, fragile voice. I've always wondered who sang that song: 'the girl from ipanema'.
