Astrud Gilberto - Aqua De Beber

[serdrito]

ninguem canta como Astrud , suave ,parece que ela canta diretamente para voce.

[peepsieD]

love her, and the song, but this unfortunate rendition, well, i'm just glad whatever decade this came from is gone forever.

[jimharper10]

Name one singer who has the combination of dignity, class and sultriness of this woman. [Actual chops--not so much].

[1gilbv]

i used to say aqua de beber when i'm drunk i need more ice cold water.

[mieleke]

Am i the only one who thinks this is a horrible version? Both in musical taste and performance (mainly vocally)

[Littlewhitelephant]

Here i resent her changing the beautiful original intro notes. "Dabadiba, ..." But anyway, almost anything of interest concerning her is off the tube. Does anyone have the telephone song for instance ? I wonder why almost no brazil singer cared to cover it

[filipposilvestro]

wow! Awesome.

[JochenHayek]

should actually be spelt "agua de beber", in English: "drinking water"

[xMarzipanFeex]

omg ist das schlecht xD

[neilmike2]

she the one that sang with george...i think she's very good too

[plarq]

1988 in West Germany?

[angelobgangelo]

she needs to hire me as a back up singer : )

[heanesmedeiros]

Astrud, se João Gilberto é o pai da Bossa Nova, você é a mãe. Nós te amamos muito. Você é a melhor!!!!

[slolove06]

Think the recorded album version sounds better than this...

[plarq]

Heavily accented, just as her debut performance in "Girl from Ipanema"

[woodypaq]

All of a sudden Sade doesn't sound quite so unique anymore to me. Astrud has such a haunting mellow voice that it sounds original in most every way.

[MelisaEnDirecto]

Great performance...

[keltyk]

This must be 1980s... check guitarist's rolled up sleeves and jazzy clown outfit- unless it was quite recently but the German's forced them to wear German 'fashion'. Astrud will be 70 quite soon btw. This performance is nice and has slightly bittersweet flavour

[emjays63]

Beautiful!!!

If you have any more of this performance you should post it......

Astrud looks and sounds great!

What year did this Concert take place?

Thank you for sharing this with us!

[gerdieken]

Astrud will lead my musical life always.. I've met her 30 years ago.. (she still looks fine by the way !).. her songs are still my greatest hits... Thank you, Astrud for great happiness and joy into my life..

[markmustb1]

fantastic -

i'm so late on catching on to her

but her songs are a part of my life now

[GUIDOBRAT]

Astrud always brings back my 60's memories for me effortlessly

excellent--thx for posting:)

[deehouse55]

She still sounds great, almost as the last 40 some years hasn't happened, The Girl fromIpanema is still my favorite.

[ZlayoSelce]

she is tired i see....but perfect!

[tietziano65]

ZDF- ? German television? not bad,

this sounds too jazzlike, too stylish. the bossa nova original from 60ties is definitely the best

and when she ends, she says: dankeschön!

[plarq]

@tietziano65 her father was German anyway

[Gxyz222]

I hear ya dude, I've never heard the english version of this song myself till Ms. Astrud Gilberto sang it. I just wish didn't stop singing, the world needs her now...RIGHT NOW!!

[NinoStackz]

@Gxyz222 Al Jarreau sang a version bi-lingually

[Gxyz222]

@NinoStackz oh really? That sounds like a real treat to listen to, he's a great jazz/pop vocalist himself! Thanks for the suggestion!

[caho99]

@Gxyz222...ur damn right..it's now that i'm listening her old albums of 1964/1965 and it's crazy how beautiful this music is...it's just insane what her voice can do with ur feelings !

[Gxyz222]

@caho99, feelings, that's what our so called "music world" is missing now a days, great artist and great songs like this inspire us to do feel great things and do great things. Speaking of her old albums(my favorites too), I've got of her old stuff and some of her Verve greatest recordings stuff(however, I wish I had more of her albums like "Look to the Rainbow", the "Golden Japanese Album", and the famous concert album of her in New York). Guess we truly know what good music is, don't we caho?

[harryhaarlemjazzfan]

Super cool!!! heb een cd van haar met Stan Getz waarop alle legendarische songs, girl from..., desafinado etc.Ze is nog onveranderd!

[TheClassicCrooners]

love it!
