Music can be memory, celebration, and resistance. And when it is given a voice by Gilberto Gil, it also becomes a journey into the soul of Brazil. A living legend of global music, Gil has spanned more than six decades of history, blending samba, bossa nova, tropicalism, and international influences, turning tradition into an open space for experimentation. A singer-songwriter, guitarist, intellectual, and key figure of the tropicalist movement, Gilberto Gil revolutionized the language of Brazilian music, bringing it onto the international stage with a style that combines political awareness, poetry, and lightness. His songs speak of identity, spirituality, and freedom, carried by melodies that have crossed generations and borders. On stage, Gil retraces the milestones of his career, performing songs that have become part of the collective imagination, such as Aquele Abraço, Expresso 2222, Toda Menina Baiana, Andar com Fé, and Não Chore Mais. At his side is a remarkable family superband: his children and grandchildren share the stage in a symbolic passing of energy and memory, turning the concert into an intimate yet powerful narrative.
