Esotérico (1995)

"A leader of Brazil's Tropicalia movement during the late 1960s along with artists Caetano Veloso, Marcos Valle, and Gal Costa, multi-instrumentalist Gilberto Gil mixed native styles like samba, MPB, and bossa nova with rock and folk instruments to become one of Brazil's, and the world's most celebrated singer/songwriters. Gil's career has spanned six decades, and he's had hits in each one. For most of the rest of the '70s, he recorded for a variety of Brazilian record companies until signing an international deal with the WEA group of labels in 1977. He toured U.S. colleges in 1978 and firmly established his place in the international jazz world." (Allmusic) Dit album bevat de registratie van een optreden in de VS. Met een akoestisch band, waarin zijn warme, vrolijk wiegende en melancholieke songs het beste floreren. (GR Muziekbank)
