Four-time Grammy nominee Bebel Gilberto will release her most heartfelt and personal album in August 2023, entitled João. More than a tribute to her father, the unforgettable João Gilberto, the album is a visit to Bebel's most fundamental musical memories. The choice of songs includes unexpected choices, such as the Waltz Bebel (Como São Lindos os Yogues), one of the rare compositions written by Joao Gilberto that was created for his daughter, to classics such as Ela é Carioca and Desafinado. João is an essential album for admirers of one of the greatest musical dynasties in Brazilian music. The recordings are neither versions nor reinterpretations, but declarations of love made in Bebel's unmistakable style, a style that, according to The New York Times, "exudes a self-possession, unaffected elegance and comfortable sensuality that is almost impossible to find among American pop stars of the same age."
