In many parts of the world, Gilberto Gil is a superstar. Once audiences get their first taste of his unstoppable talent as a singer, songwriter and performer, many ask themselves, “Where have you been all my life?” Equal parts fearless musical trailblazer and uncompromising social activist, Gil has forged a powerful musical voice over his celebrated four-decade career in his native Brazil and worldwide. Gil began his artistic journey as a bossa nova musician, eventually writing songs that reflected a new focus on political awareness and social activism. From 2003 to 2008 he served as his country’s Minister of Culture in the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The seven-time Grammy winner returns to Austin in a solo acoustic set.
