A champion of Brazil‘s African-rooted traditions who has scoured the vast backlands of his own country and the far corners of the world in search of inspiration for his constantly evolving artistic vision, Gilberto Gil remains one of his land’s most enterprising musicians. His singing and composing career in Bahia, the center of African culture in Brazil, began in the mid sixties as one of the founders of the revolutionary tropicalismo movement.
His most recent recordings include Gil Luminoso (2006), Rhythms of Bahia (2006), and Banda Larga Cordel (2008) .
