Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto, the voice of Bossa Nova whose model of “The Girl from Ipanema” was a global success within the late Nineteen Sixties, has died on the age of 83, her household stated.
Gilberto died on Monday at her house in Philadelphia, her granddaughter Sofia Gilberto stated on social media.
“Life is beautiful, as the song says, but I bring the sad news that my grandmother became a star today and is next to my grandfather Joao Gilberto,” the granddaughter wrote.
Astrud was married to Brazilian musician Joao Gilberto, who died in 2019. (Reporting by Anthony Boadle, Editing by Rosalba O’Brien)
