	Gilberto Gil - Biography - AOL Music
		Multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter Gilberto Gil joined his first group, the Desafinados, in the mid-'50s and by the beginning of the 1960s was earning a living as a jingle composer.
		Gil made his first self-titled recording in 1966, but his first hit single didn't come about until 1969, with "Aquele Abraco." His musical fusion of bossa nova, samba, and other styles was so revolutionary it frightened the country's military dictatorship into arresting him, and that's when he headed to Great Britain.
		Gil celebrated his then two-decade career in 1985 with the album DIA Dorim Noite Neon (released in the U.S.), and released Gilberto Gil em Concerto, recorded live in Rio, in 1987.

	Gilberto Gil: Cultivator Of The Spirit: Brazilian Music
		Born in 1942 in Salvador, Gil was a leader of the Tropicália movement in Brazil in 1967 and 1968, along with artists such as Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Capinam, Gal Costa, Torquato Neto, and Os Mutantes.
		Because of Gil's threatening Tropicalismo image in the late '60s (which suggested hippies, rock'n'roll, freedom, and other concepts that disturbed the Brazilian government), he ran afoul of the ruling dictatorship and was jailed.
		Gil would go on to record many reggae songs that decade and next, share billing with Jimmy Cliff at the "Reggae Night" of the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival, and cut "Vamos Fugir" [Let's Escape] with the Wailers in '84 on his album A Raca Humana [the Human Race].

	Gilberto Gil Discography Page 1: 1963-1980 (Slipcue E-Zine)
		Gil, along with Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethania, and Gal Costa, was one of the founding members of the revolutionary late-60's Tropicalia movement, which deliberately distorted and challenged the conventions of Brazilian popular culture.
		Of the group, Bethania and Gil were clearly the most confident -- he had several years of performing experience under his belt by the time of his 1965 recordings of "Roda" and "Procissao," and she was a rising star in the Brazilian theatre.
		Gil's last great album of the decade, this beautifully arranged masterpiece is a multicultural mix-and-match along the lines of Jorge Ben's self-titled 1969 album: it starts off with Jerry Reed-style twangy guitar, and swiftly moves on to intertwine graceful string arrangements, forro informed accordion, subtle pop rock guitar and Gil's drifting falsetto.

		But if the tropicalistas saw the electric guitar as a sign of modernity, for the leftist nationalists who dominated the music milieu it signified a sell-out to Brazil's recently installed military dictatorship and the US interests the generals were seen to serve.
		Their affair with rock got the tropicalistas caught up in a fierce debate that turned Gil off to conventional ideas of nationalism once and for all.
		Gil and Veloso spent two months in prison, then four months confined to their home town of Salvador, and then they were "invited" by the government to leave the country.

	village voice > music > Gilberto Gil Ensaio Geral by Sasha Frere-Jones
		In 1967, Gilberto Gil and his fellow freedom fighters (Tom Zé, Caetano Veloso, and Gal Costa, among others) launched the Tropicália movement by hugging the music of the world.
		Even when his records haven't served them, Gil's songs are vigorous things, stretched between the athletic chug of forró and the sexy suspension of samba but never snapping.
		Though Gil had been writing and recording since 1965 ("Louvação" had already been a hit for Elis Regina by the time Gil's version was released), 1967's Louvação is Gil's first album under his own name.

	Gilberto Gil / Kaya N'Gan Daya / RootsWorld Recording Review
		Brazilian music legend Gilberto Gil has long cited Bob Marley as an influence, performing Marley songs in concert and giving a reggae lilt to a fair number of his own compositions.
		Speculation about Gil putting out an entire album of Marley covers has been on the front and back burners for several years, and now that such an album has finally emerged, questions about it being worth the wait (and worth the bother) can be addressed.
		Also, Gil being such a formidable talent in his own right, he succeeds in altering the songs to such a degree that the end result is a generous helping of Marley tunes faithful to the originals without seeking to imitate their every nuance.

	Amazon.com: Acoustic: Music: Gilberto Gil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Gilberto Gil has that wonderful combination of technical talent on the guitar, as well as a soft, expressive singing voice best-described as "cloud-like." (soft, fluffy and delicate) It's amazing when you begin to measure the tone of his voice with the content of his songs, though.
		Gil wrote all of the songs on this album (with the exception of his cover of "The Secret Life of Plants" written by Stevie Wonder for the film of the same name).
		The beauty of Gil's music is the mixture of contemporary guitar riffs and the use of the Brazilian berimbau and tradional percussion instruments.

		Formed under the shadow of a military dictatorship in 1968 and destroyed in the same year, when its leaders Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were imprisoned and exiled to England, it was a musical and artistic movement that changed the country for ever.
		Its chief members were the poetic intellectual Veloso, the spiritually inclined musician Gilberto Gil, the glamorous, militant singer Gal Costa, the avant-garde songwriter Tom Zé — all from Bahia, the fl heartland of Brazil — and from São Paulo, the maestro Rogério Duprat and the teenage rock band Os Mutantes.
		In 1967 Mutantes backed Gil as he played his song Domingo no Parque at a festival in front of a left- wing audience who believed that electric guitars were the tool of the imperialist devil.
