Gilberto Gil is Brazil's minister of culture. That means he's limited in
performing his better known role: musician. Still, he's taking time out
for an 11-date tour of North America. He considers it a vacation. The
World's Marco Werman attended Gil's concert last night in New
Bedford, Massachusetts.
Seeing Gil on stage in front of a full house, you can almost hear the
collective harrumph of buttoned-up establishment types asking, "Is this
any way for a government minister to act?"

But this is the same Gilberto Gil as ever. As Minister he may have a
different uniform: he often wears a suit and tie. On stage he's in
bleached jeans. Back stage, he slips into a distinguished gray Adidas
track suit.
"And what about the punctuality you have to be on time."

tracks from "Watina," some
going back in Andy Palacio's
catalog, plus several from
other artists who occupy
Belize's small musical universe
with him.
