Astrud Gilberto, whose tender and attractive vocal efficiency on “The Woman From Ipanema,” the primary tune she ever recorded, helped make the sway of Brazilian bossa nova successful sound in the US within the Sixties, died on Monday. She was 83.

Paul Ricci, a musician and a household buddy, introduced on Fb that Ms. Gilberto’s son Marcelo mentioned she had died and “requested for this to be posted.” He supplied no additional particulars.

Ms. Gilberto loved a four-decade recording profession, recording albums with celebrated musicians like James Final and Gil Evans in addition to working with George Michael, Chet Baker and others. However her largest success got here with “The Woman From Ipanema,” written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa, with English lyrics by Norman Gimbel.

When Ms. Gilberto recorded that tune, she was married to João Gilberto, the Brazilian singer and guitarist also known as the daddy of the bossa nova. In 1963, the 2 of them traveled from Rio de Janeiro to New York Metropolis, the place he was set to report a joint album with the jazz saxophonist Stan Getz, who had already launched three albums that combined jazz with samba and bossa nova.

Precisely who had the concept to contain Ms. Gilberto, an untested singer, on the album, later launched as titled “Getz/Gilberto,” is unclear Some credit score its producer, Creed Taylor; others credit score Ms. Gilberto. The singer herself credited her husband.

“Whereas rehearsing with Stan within the tune ‘The Woman From Ipanema,’ João casually requested me to hitch in and sing a refrain in English after he had simply sung the primary refrain in Portuguese,” Ms. Gilberto mentioned in a 2002 interview for her official web site. “Stan was very receptive. I’ll always remember that whereas we had been listening again to the simply recorded model, Stan mentioned to me, ‘This tune goes to make you well-known.’”

A whole obituary will seem shortly.
