Astrud Gilberto was a Brazilian singer born on March 30, 1940, in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. She gained fame in the early 1960s with her recording of the Bossa Nova hit "The Girl from Ipanema". Astrud performed alongside Stan Getz and João Gilberto, whom she was married to at that time.

Her captivating voice and unique style made her a prominent figure in the music industry. Astrud's contribution to Bossa Nova helped popularize the genre internationally. Her talent and charm continue to inspire artists around the world.

Similar artists who share Astrud's passion for Brazilian music include Luiz Bonfá, Tamba 4, Rosa Passos, João Donato, Rosalia De Souza, Roberto Menescal E Seu Conjunto, Sylvia Telles, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, Marcos Valle, Bebel Gilberto and many more.

Verve Records, also known as Verve, is a multinational record label that was founded in 1956 by jazz impresario Norman Granz. The label originated from the consolidation of Granz's earlier labels, Norgran Records and Clef Records. In 1960, Verve was sold to MGM Records and became a subsidiary of the company. Throughout the 1960s, Verve expanded its music genres to include comedy, pop, R&B, rock, and folk music.

During this time, Verve had successful jazz recordings from artists such as Stan Getz, Kai Winding, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Smith under the direction of Creed Taylor. In 1972, MGM sold its record division to Polydor which brought Verve into the newly formed PolyGram family of record labels. As a result of this transition, Verve focused primarily on jazz reissues while other non-jazz releases were absorbed into Polydor.

In the late 1980s, PolyGram decided to revive Verve with both reissue programs and new artist signings. This revitalization led to strong sales for both new material and remastered classic recordings. With the merger of PolyGram and Vivendi Universal in 1999 creating Universal Music Group (UMG), Verve Records became part of The Verve Music Group alongside other influential labels such as Blue Note Records and Impulse! Records.
