Gilberto Gil is coming back to Ann Arbor for the third time since his first visit in 2007, bringing the Brazilian culture and music to our own Hill Auditorium. A native of Brazil, Gilberto Gil has been active both musically and politically for decades. His music reflects his involvement in exploring cultures, identities, and musical styles within and beyond Brazil — baião, samba, bossa nova, rock, reggae, funk, and afoxé are all fair game for him. In this performance, he will be paying special tribute to João Gilberto, a huge figure in the bossa nova field.
This performance is an excellent way to experience what happens political activism meets one of the most powerful tools of communication — music.
WHEN: Saturday, April 4 at 8pm
WHERE: Hill Auditorium
