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.
