Gil, along with Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethania, and Gal Costa, was one of the founding members of the revolutionary late-60's Tropicalia movement, which deliberately challenged the conventions of Brazilian popular culture. They pushed the envelope musically -- mixing American blues, funk, psychedelia and European kitsch to the already potent Brazilian brew of samba, choro, bossa nova and jazz. One of Brazil's most frustrating superstars, Gil had an early burst of pop fame, and rapidly made his way into that musical state of grace where everything he did seemed to shimmer magically. His early stuff is so great, so spellbindingly confident and melodic, that it's hard to reconcile it with the abysmal drekkiness of nearly everything he's done since the mid-1970s. More than any other of the tropicalistas, Gil wholeheartedly embraced mainstream pop -- of the disco and post-disco synthpop variety -- and unfortunately it makes his later music pretty hard to listen to. This is a 2-CD set of his greatest hits. Warner. 2005.
