Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil
Two Friends, One Century of Music
Two major artists of the 20th century—Caetano Veloso, arguably Brazil’s greatest contemporary songwriter, and Gilberto Gil, the renowned Brazilian guitarist and singer who led the 1960s Tropicália movement with Veloso and others—come together for a celebration of music and friendship. In this rare convergence over two evenings, these hugely influential, Grammy Award-winning musicians perform songs from throughout their prolific careers, reflecting on everything from the revolutionary spirit of Tropicália and the early days of their friendship to the myriad influences that have pervaded both of their distinct sonic palettes.
