Gilberto Gil- No Norte Da Saudade



















Go buy it.

The true test of music's brilliance comes when you're listening to something and think, "Why do I even bother to play to anything else?" That happens a lot with much of Gilberto Gil's work. Listen to how the giant of Brazilian music fuses native sounds, Bob Marley's magic and African guitar tones on 1977's Refavela.
