He chose to perform more recent compositions (many from his latest CD, Banda Larga Cordel) instead of digging into his Tropicalia-era catalogue. Gil immediately got everyone moving with "Andar Com Fé," an early '80s hit with a reggae backbeat. He also paid tribute to his bossa nova musical ancestors by playing "Formosa" an obscure Baden Powell/Vinicius de Moraes composition included on his new disc, and as he kicked off the first chords from "The Girl From Ipanema," he was accompanied by a choir of four thousand strong voices. He only looked back at his Tropicalia years once, when he played "Chiclete Com Banana," a tune from the landmark 1968 psychedelic-fusion disc. SUBSCRIBE TO GLOBAL RHYTHM "Xaxado is another part of the family of Brazilian music," he explained to the crowd before he introduced the original "Não Grude Não, a new tune played in the syncopated two by two beat that originates from Northeastern Brazil, and also showcased "Nao Tenho Medo Da Morte," in which he beautifully sings about the fact that he does not fear death itself but does fear the moment when the dreaded event comes to happen. He also played Bob Marley's "Everything Is Gonna Be Alright," a song that was well received by the reggae-loving audience (who owes much to Gil - it was he who introduced the beat to Brazil in the 70s with his remake of "No Woman No Cry"). Another great moment from his set came with "Esperando Na Janela," a more recent hit that became a crowd favorite once it was adopted by restaurant performers in Brazil during the late 90s When the sona began CONTEST ABOUT GLOBALL BHYTHM SUBSCRIBE NOW GET 8 ISSUES & 8 FREE CDS SUBSCRIBE RSS RSS Feeds ADVERTISING LINKS OMIGA BUGEMBE OKERTO kiwomero emmeeme WORLD MUSIC DEBUT NOW AVAILABLE LAWSON ROLLINS Infinita www.jawsonrollins.com
