Album Notes
Personnel: Gilberto Gil (acoustic guitar); Lanny (electric guitar); Chiquinho De Moraes (piano, organ); Sergio Barroso (electric bass); Wilson Das Neves (drums).
Brazilian singer-songwriter and Tropicalia pioneer Gilberto Gil made his self-titled 1971 album during the period when he and compatriot Caetano Veloso were political exiles in England. Like Veloso's contemporaneous work, the album is balanced between hippie-era optimism and a melancholy longing for home (the latter exemplified most obviously in a cover of the Blind Faith song "Can't Find My Way Home"). A mostly acoustic affair (except for the full-band rave-up of the tongue-in-cheek "Crazy Pop Rock"), the album mixes modified bossa nova rhythms with folk-rock influences and a pronounced psychedelic side (see "Three Mushrooms" and the bonus-track live versions of Hendrix and Beatles tunes).
