To understand Brazilian Music if you are totally ignorant:
Check out Brazilian Love affair-George Duke. A fusion of north america (jazz) with latino rhythmns. Once educated move on to the likes of Mr.Gil.
This is the route I took to get into the music (thanks George!). This is a classic album which I bought on vinyl many years ago. It contains the classic underground club hit Maracatu Atomico which is soooooo good it is worth the few quid asked for this album.
Gilberto Gil has been making quality music for more years than I care to mention. Try this and then give Djavan a listen. You have a whole new musical world waiting for you to discover.Go check it!

SUPERB..........
15 July 2005
Format:Audio CD
Gilberto Gil is a genius, and this album originally recorded in 1979 and recently re-mastered is a knock out.
Here you have his fresh compositions, his super eloquence and most importantly that escence of Brazilian beauty he reflects in each of his masterpieces.
This album has many songs that have made it into different compilations as well as recorded by many; my favorites: 1) Here and Now and 2) Maracatu Atomico.
Also, the amazing list of great musicians playing here is:
- Gilberto Gil / Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Percussions
- Sergio Mendes / Synthesizers, Percussion
- Don Grusin / Fender Rhodes
- Michael Sembello / Electric Guitar
- Abraham Laboriel / Bass
- Laudir de Oliveira / Congas, Percussion
- Alex Acuna / Drums
- Gracinha Leporace & Carol Rogers / Background Vocals
- Robertinho Silva / Percussions
- Lee Ritenour / Electric Guitars
- Oscar Castro-Neves / Cavaquinho
etc. etc.
If you are a fan of Gil, you owe it to yourself; if you are not yet, this is a great start point.
Thanks Gilberto for painting magnificent hues in our lives with your masterpieces..........

Gil tries to enter the English market

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Back in 1979, I went to see Gilberto Gil in concert at Florida State University. Gil was on a tour in the USA trying to break into its' music market with a partly English, partly Portuguese album named Nightingale. Unfortunately for him and many of us music fans, he did not make much of a dent. That is a shame, because this a delightful album with nice uplifting music in various styles of Latin music like samba,Caribbean reggae blended with a more modern sound. Music that is nice to dance to as well as just playing it for a happy atmosphere. If you are an English speaker this is definitely the album to try out first. And if you like lots of rhythms, you will not regret getting this album.

not in the category of essential gil, but still a fun cd especially for those familiar with him. he takes a different approach to many songs that he had previously recorded. nightingale is an english rendition of rouxinol from refazenda; ella an english version of ela from the same album; goodbye my girl an english version of na norte da saudade from refavela; and baba ala pala yet another english language version of the same titled track on refavela. it gets a little cheesy at points -- foreshadowing some of the worst stuff he ever put out (lots of his 80s stuff).
i'd recommend it to experienced gil fans...otherwise start elsewhere.
