Description
"I knew that music was my language, that music would take me to see the world, would take me to other lands. For I thought there was the music of the earth and the music from heaven." Gil, about his childhood in the city where he lived, in Bahia, where he used to race to the first clarinet sound of the band, which started the religious celebrations, and seemed to invade everything. His career began with the accordion, still in the 50s, inspired by Luiz Gonzaga, the sound of the radio and the religious parades in town. Within the Northeast he explored a folk country sound, until Joao Gilberto emerges, the bossa nova, as well as Dorival Caymmi, with its coastal beach sound, so different from that world of wilderness he was used to. Influenced, Gil leaves aside the accordion and holds the guitar, then the electric guitar, which harbors the particular harmonies of his work until today. Since his early songs he portrayed his country, and his musicianship took very personal rhythmic and melodic forms.
