Gilberto Gil is a Brazilian singer, guitarist, and songwriter known for his musical innovation and political commitment. He served as Brazil's Minister of Culture from 2003 to 2008 under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Born on June 26, 1942 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
With a career spanning decades, Gilberto Gil has made significant contributions to the music industry through his unique style and artistic vision. His innovative approach to music has earned him international recognition and admiration.
In addition to his musical achievements, Gilberto Gil is also recognized for his political activism. Serving as Brazil's Minister of Culture showcased his dedication to promoting arts and culture within the country. Through his leadership, he played a vital role in shaping Brazil's cultural landscape.

Sound Of Revolution combines Gilberto Gil’s brilliant 1968 and 1969 Tropicalia albums, Frevo Rasgado and Cerebro Electronico. Joyous, extraordinarily inventive pop music made against a background of terrible political unrest in Brazil and in the shadow of both imprisonment and eventually exile both for Gil and his friend Caetano Veloso. The 1968 album is electrified by the meteoric Os Mutantes and both sets are arranged by Rogerio Duprat who contributes a range of totally original textures and orchestration much as George Martin did with ‘Strawberry Fields’ and ‘Sgt Pepper’. Suffice to say, this combination of precocious talent achieves a magical and historically important result.
