She is the daughter of João Gilberto and singer Miúcha. Her uncle is singer/composer Chico Buarque. Bebel has been performing since her youth in Rio de Janeiro.
At the age of seven, Bebel made an appearance on her mother's first solo album Miúcha. At age nine, Bebel performed with her mother and jazz saxophonist Stan Getz at a jazz festival in New York's Carnegie Hall. Back in Brazil, Bebel performed and recorded for the soundtrack of the children's musical Os Saltimbancos, written by Sergio Bardotti and Chico Buarque. Later on Bebel joined an experimental theatrical group and was a member of the founding team of the performance space Circo Voador (Flying Circus) at Ipanema Beach. In this group she met singer/songwriter Cazuza, who became a close friend and soon a major rock star in Brazil during the 1980s.
Throughout the 1990s, Bebel collaborated with a variety of musical stars such as Arto Lindsay, Thievery Corporation, David Byrne, Towa Tei, Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque. In 1996 Bebel was featured in the AIDS charity project Red Hot + Rio, produced by her close friend and collaborator Béco Dranoff. By the mid 1990s, Bebel also had successes as songwriter with the international dance hits "Technova" and "Batucada" in collaboration with producers Towa Tei and Arto Lindsay.
Bebel was featured on the soundtrack of Brad Anderson's film Next Stop Wonderland with Vinicius Cantuária and Mauro Refosco. In the late 1990s, Bebel moved to London where she began to develop the sound featured on her critically acclaimed debut album Tanto Tempo. During this period, she met Suba, the multi-talented Serbian producer living in São Paulo who ended up writing and producing several tracks on Tanto Tempo. While in London, she also worked with DJ/producer Amon Tobin, Dutch duo Arling & Cameron and singer Nina Miranda.
In 2000, Bebel's Tanto Tempo album was released on Ziriguiboom (Crammed Discs sub-label) and has sold over one million copies worldwide. The album was also nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards. Her second album, Bebel Gilberto (2004), was also released to great critical acclaim, receiving a MOBO Award in the UK and also a World Music Grammy nomination.
Also in 2006, Bebel started writing and producing the songs that would become part of her third album Momento, released in April 2007. On this album, Bebel collaborated with UK producer Guy Sigsworth, her friends Didi Gutman and Sabina Sciubba (from NY based band Brazilian Girls) and the Rio based Orquestra Imperial.
Gilberto's most recent album, All In One, was released in the US in September 2009 by jazz imprint Verve.

Na branca espuma do mar
Que deixei meu coração se dar
Só resta a intenção de se deixar deixar
Vou te levar numa onda de paixão
Não vou parar
Nunca prá pensar
Sonho com o vento
Que não sopra mais
Gotas de um momento
Que não conta mais
E a chuva na montanha
E o rio que vai pro mar
Na branca espuma do mar
Que deixei meu coração se dar
Só resta a intenção de se deixar deixar
Vou te buscar de uma sombra de pura paixão
Não vou parar
Nunca de te amar
Brilha a luz do orvalho
Que nunca partiu
Como este rio
Que não se decidiu
Se é rio da montanha
Se é rio que vai pro mar
Sonho com o vento
Que não sopra mais
Gotas de um momento
Que não conta mais
Se é chuva na montanha
Se é rio que vai pro mar
De toda a correnteza
Que tudo vai levar
Vai levar
Rio que vai pro mar, vai levar
Doctor Swazz
This has legitimately become my favorite song of all time. The spirit of Brazil!

Que não conta mais
E a chuva na montanha
E o rio que vai pro mar
Na branca espuma do mar
Que deixei meu coração se dar
Só resta a intenção de se deixar deixar
Vou te buscar de uma sombra de pura paixão
Não vou parar
Nunca de te amar
Brilha a luz do orvalho
Que nunca partiu
Como este rio
Que não se decidiu
Se é rio da montanha
Se é rio que vai pro mar
Sonho com o vento

Que não conta mais
Se é chuva na montanha
Se é rio que vai pro mar
De toda a correnteza
Que tudo vai levar
Vai levar
Rio que vai pro mar, vai levar
