Bebel Gilberto

As the daughter of bossa nova pioneer Joao Gilberto, singer-songwriter Bebel Gilberto is Brazilian musical royalty. And she's more than lived up to the family name -- her two highly acclaimed solo albums have infused bossa nova, samba, and Brazilian jazz with a hip, 21st century style, and introduced this timeless music to a new generation of listeners.

To commemorate the release of Bebel Gilberto Remixed, which features reinventions of classic Bebel performances from the likes of Thievery Corporation and the Latin Project, we asked for Bebel's list of the all-time greatest Brazilian albums that most English-speaking music fans haven't heard.

	Antonio Carlos Jobim Urubu (1976) - $7.99
"This is a classic Tom Jobim album – it was recorded in the mid '70s. It has my mom Miucha on background vocals and the strings are done by Claus Ogerman."
	Os Novos Baianos Acabou Chorare (1972) - $8.99
"A post-Tropicália classic from Brazil. A collective of talent from where names like Baby Consuelo, Pepeu Gomes and Moraes Moreira came from."
	Caetano Veloso Circulado (1991) - $13.99
"One of my favorite Caetano albums from the early 1990s."
	João Donato Quem E Quem (1973) - $11.99
"Super Brazilian composer, arranger and pianist, a unique blend of melody and rhythm."
	João Gilberto João Gilberto (1973)
	João Gilberto O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor (1960)

	Gal Costa India (1973)
"Another Tropicália landmark record. I heard it thousands of times as a kid."
	Chico Buarque Construção (1971) - $11.99
"He is my uncle. This album of the early '70s is considered one his greatest works – amazing music and poetry."
	Carlinhos Brown Carlito Marron (2004) - $12.99

	Carlinhos Brown Alfagamabetizado (1997)
