How can anybody not recognize this very distinct voice? The Queen of Bossa Nova - Astrud Gilberto. Astrud gained popularity during the the 60's and has become the voice of an angel from Brazil. During those days every singer started imitating her very soft and gentle voice. Born in Brazil with a German Father and practically grew up in Rio De Janiero. Now risiding permanently in the United States.As you travel around the world you can always hear her music. Probably the most popular song she made is "The Shadow of Your Smile" Which was a big hit and went up the charts for several months. In this 1988 concert video at ZDF jazz club, Germany. You will notice that she still has her vibrant voice. Songs here were mostly sung in Portuguese language singing along with her band. Also appearing with her here is the son of Antonio Carlos Jobim - Paulo Jobim. Playing his accoustic guitar and singing to the tunes of "Samba do Soho" , "Mantiqueira", "Cumbia", and "Milkyway"
