Gilberto Gil is one of the great icons of our time. Here Gil plays in a solo setting that gets to the very heart of the art of a consummate songwriter. This concert reflects the recording Gil Luminoso, with songs that stretch back over 25 years of a fascinating career.
In the 1960s, Gil was at the heart of Tropicalia, the most important creative movement in Brazil since bossa nova – politically charged and controversial, this led to exile in London in 1969, where he absorbed the influences of popular music from rock to reggae, all of which have informed an inspirational spirit that transcends genres and nationalities.
