    About Tanto Tempo

    At City Winery NYC, Bebel Gilberto marks 25 years since *Tanto Tempo*, the album that helped reset the terms of bossa nova for an era of electronic production and global pop circulation. The Brazilian singer, born into a lineage that includes João Gilberto and Miúcha and connected to the broader MPB world around Chico Buarque, brings that history onto a New York stage built for close listening. New York has long served as a meeting point for Brazilian music and downtown club culture; this anniversary set makes that exchange audible. One clear takeaway is how the record’s restraint still reads as a contemporary choice.
