guitarAbout
Gilberto Gil is one of Brazil's national treasures. The songwriting guitarist-vocalist was a progenitor of the Tropicalia movement that modernized Brazilian popular music in the '60s, an indelible influence that continues to inspire. Today, Gil can look back on a career that covers four decades, over fifty albums, and numerous awards – including seven Grammys. With his latest album, Gilberto's Samba, Gil pays tribute to the compositions of Joao Gilberto, Tom Jobim, and other important Brazilian songwriters who influenced him.
