Bebel Gilberto is sultry. I've seen her live. Trust me, I know. She moves with a certain grace that is so alluring ... even to women. It glows with confidence - and singing in Portuguese with a voice like that just propels her to goddess-like status. (at least in my book). She is definitely one of my role models. I would like to channel sexy, just like that.
One of my dearest and best just found the allure of the bossa nova world. I thought I'd ease Felicia in with a slightly newer release from a voice with so much history and roots from the genre.
( * This particular track was also used in Six Feet Under and it is included in the cd compilation for the show. And I remember clearly the scene it was played in... Claire's going away party at their house.... I guess moments before dinner. Wonderful show. I miss so much. But major props to the music director for picking Bebel. Great stuff.)
Enjoy.
