Gilberto Gil serves as the Minister of Culture for Brazil. Through his career as a musician he carries out a fundamental role in the constant modernization process of Brazilian popular music. A member of this scene for 32 years, he has developed one of the most relevant and renown careers as a singer, composer and guitar-player in this field. His music has a strong rhythmic appeal and melodic richness, as mixed as its people. 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 30 albums released, Gilberto Gil has six gold records, four platinum singles and more than 4 million records sold. For his work, Gilberto Gil was honored with the Knighthood of the Order of the Arts and Literature by the French Minister of Culture Jack Lang, and has also received many prizes in Brazil, where he is a nationally known personality. In the last ten years Gil has also become a man of action in extra-musical fields. He has been a councilman for Salvador and is involved in environmental and social projects to this day. |
