Astrud Evangelina Weinert, the singer who became known in the world as Astrud Gilberto, has died at the age of 83, according to her granddaughter Sofia in an Instagram message. Gilberto died in the same year as his colleagues Rita Lee and Gal Costa and four years after the disappearance of Joâo Gilberto.
Between the four of them, the history of Brazilian popular music could be narrated. It became the negative of those years of innocence. The years of bossa nova, rationalist architecture and the promise of a brave new world.
