Review

Q (8/94, p.100) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...He is one of Brazil's greatest musical exports and his light, airy and delicate singing and playing lends itself beautifully to this musical setting..."

Title Note

Personnel: Gilberto Gil (vocals, acoustic guitar); Celso Fonseca (acoustic guitar); Lucas Santana (flute); Arthur Maia (bass); Jorge Gomes (drums, bandolim); Marcos Suzano (percussion).

Originally recorded for MTV Brazil as an "Unplugged" session (and released there under that title), Gilberto Gil ACOUSTIC presents the singer in a setting that emphasizes a more delicate side of his music and doesn't sacrifice the vision of a songwriter obsessed with the past and future and where they intersect in his native Brazil. Joined by a solid and supple band, Gil plays many of his best-known tunes, including the samba-reggae "A Novidade," the bouncing "Toda Menina Baiana" and "Parabolicamara," in which the kudzu-like creeping plant camara becomes a metaphor for the shrinking modern world. It's no coincidence, then, the set's one cover (and only tune sung in English) is a samba-fied version of Stevie Wonder's "Secret Life of Plants," both an obvious nod to musical influence and a typically subtle political comment.
