 Gabriela Robin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabriela Robin is a singer and lyricist, credited for nonsensical and broken language lyrics and vocals on many songs composed and arranged by Yoko Kanno.
There is virtually no information available on Gabriela Robin, leading many to speculate that "Gabriela Robin" is a pseudonym used by Yoko Kanno herself.
The fact that Robin seems to have done no work apart from Kanno (with exception to the work of Kanno's husband, Hajime Mizoguchi), as well as lyrics and vocals credited to both Kanno and Robin in different places seem to support this theory.

 CD Baby: GABRIELA ANDERS: Eclectica (new edition with 2 bonus tracks)
Gabriela Anders continues a journey of musical excellence and introspection with her new release, "Eclectica", a collection of Brazilian, R&B and jazz- influenced songs, now including two additional tracks, "Far away" and "Love so right".
With Gabriela it's all about the voice and the songs, as it should be with someone with this much talent and substance.
Gabriela is one of a very few that can deal rhythmically with most any style - witness the deep funkiness of track #4 - yet has the taste to not fill up every available space with meaningless scat cliches.

 Gabriela Sabatini --- a great Tennis Star
Besides this, Gabriela Sabatini is in my view the most beautiful woman I've ever seen (note: 1992 she was elected by People's Magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people).
If you know Gabriela a little bit, you also know, that this is totally ridiculous, for she hates drugs anyway (also normal medical ones), will never betray anyway (doping is a nasty way of betrayal) and had no way the need to use such methods, because of her outstanding talent.
For a good observer and long years Gabriela watching one like me, this was discernable, that it's not her on the picture, but for less good observers this may be very difficult.

Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon was the novel which marked Jorge Amado's break from pure class warfare--he received several Stalin prizes in his early career!--and embrace of the joys of Brazilian humanity.

 Gabriela Anders: Last Tango in Rio - PopMatters Music Review
On Gabriela Anders's latest release -- her debut was 1998's Wanting -- the vaunted influence is Billie Holliday.
The novelty with Gabriela Anders is her Argentinean heritage, which in music industry terms means vaguely tango-sounding instrumentation and some tasteful acoustic guitars.
As with Krall, the relatively restrained arrangements represent an improvement on the advertiser-friendly post-fusion 'smooth jazz' material that has dominated jazz radio playlists for years.

 Rodrigo Y Gabriela @ Life Cafe
But the eclectic crowd had come to see Rodrigo and Gabriela and didn’t settle until the pair took to the stage with their nylon-string acoustics.
Gabriela is at pains to point out that they are not playing flamenco, and Rodrigo that they are Mexican not Spanish, but their style and rhythm is shot through with hot summer nights and the smell of honeysuckle.
The pair are relaxed and happy on stage and they build an exciting tension through nothing other than a stunning interpretation of the musical world that spawned them, played with a skill that is daring and precocious.
