Description
A Brazilian cultural icon, singer, songwriter, and masterful guitarist Gilberto Gil embodies the restless, rhythmic spirit of Brazilian music from bossa nova to tropicalia and beyond.“Gil doesn’t just sing, he growls, whistles, hoots and pushes his warm voice into a sweet, piping falsetto.”
—Los Angeles Times
Brazilian superstar Gilberto Gil has been a singularly potent creative force for more than four decades. A composer, bandleader and charismatic purveyor of funky, soulful and deeply poetic songs, he is also a deeply committed political activist and a champion of Brazilian culture.
