Gilberto Gil carries out a fundamental role in the constant
modernization process of Brazilian popular music. Partaking of this
scene for 41 years, he has developed one of the most relevant and
renown careers as a singer, composer and guitar-player in this field.
Gil has had his albums released abroad since 1978, the year of his
successful performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival, in Switzerland,
recorded live. Every year he tours Europe, North America, Latin
America and Japan with his contagious pop music spoken in portuguese-
brazilian and international language. A music with a strong rhythmic
appeal and melodic richness, as mixed as its people.
Rhythms from the northeast of Brazil like the baiao, apart from samba
and bossa-nova were fundamental in his formation. Using them as a
starting point, Gil forged his own music to which he incorporated
rock, reggae, funk and rhythms from Bahia such as afoxe. Gil has
tackled a wide variety of issues in his lyrics, pertinent to modern
reality: from social inequality to the racial question, from African
to Oriental culture, from science to religion, among others. The
mastership with which Gil explores these subjects makes him one of
the
greatest Brazilian composer-lyricists.
Gil's importance to the culture of his country goes back to the 60's,
when he and Caetano Veloso created Tropicalism. Radically innovative
in the music scene, the movement assimilated pop culture to national
genres; deeply critical on political and moral levels, Tropicalism
ended up being repressed by the authoritarian regime. Gil and Caetano
were imprisoned and exiled. With 65 albums released, Gilberto Gil has
12 gold records, 5 platinum albums, 7 grammys and more than 4 million
records sold.
For his unflinching creative engagement in bringing to the world the
heart and soul of the rich music of Brazil, Gilberto Gil ha been
honored by several entities and personalities has also received many
prizes in Brazil and abroad as The Polar Prize in 2005. A unique
musical ambassador powered by firm cultural conviction.
CAETANO VELOSO @ The Greek Theater
Th April 17, 2010
http://www.greektheatrela.com/events/event_details.asp?id=1749
“Caetano Veloso is one of the greatest songwriters of the century: a
master melodist, a lyricist who merges surreal imagery with a sense
of history and a sense of humor, a singer whose voice radiates
tenderness
and supple swing and a musician who connects to traditional music,
pop and jazz from all over.”
—The New York Times
Caetano Veloso will open the award-winning Greek Theatre’s 2010
season
on Thursday, April 15.
Caetano Veloso is among the most influential and beloved artists to
emerge from Brazil. Known there since the 1960’s, Veloso has made
more
than thirty recordings to date and has developed a strong
international following. Born in Santo Amaro, Bahia, in 1942, Caetano
Veloso began his professional musical career in 1965 in Sao Paulo. In
his first compositions he drew on the bossa novas of Joao Gilberto,
but rapidly began to develop his own distinctive style. Absorbing
musical and aesthetic ideas from sources as diverse as The Beatles,
concrete poetry, the French Dadaists and the Brazilian modernist
poets of the 1920s, Caetano, together with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa,
his
sister Maria Bethania, and a number of other poets and intellectuals,
founded a movement called Tropicalismo. By experimenting with new
sounds and words, adding electric guitars to their bands and
utilizing
the imagery of modern poetry, Caetano became a musical revolutionary.
Although Tropicalismo set the tone for Caetano’s career, his music
has
evolved greatly over the years. Incorporating elements of rock,
reggae, fado, tango, samba canao, baiao and rap-- with lyrics
containing some of the best poetry in a musical tradition rich in
verse-- Caetano’s music is sometimes traditional, sometimes
contemporary, often hybrid. At once an astute social commentator and
balladeer of highly emotive love songs, Caetano is one of the most
respected poets in the Portuguese language. Indeed he is one of only
a
handful of artists who has resolved how to be musically modern and
still undeniably Brazilian.
