Tour ‘Nós, a gente’ debuts in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro, in a festive presentation that reiterates the plurality of the composer’s work, the motto of the script for the show that brings together three generations of the artist’s clan from Bahia. Gilberto Gil at the Rio de Janeiro premiere of the show ‘Nós, a gente’ Alessandra Lima / Natura Disclosure Show review Title: Nós, a gente Artist: Gilberto Gil with his family (Bela Gil, Bem Gil, Bento, Dom, Flor Gil, Fran, Gabriel, João Gil, José Gil, Lucas, Mariá Pinkusfeld, Nara Gil, Nino, Pedro, Preta Gil, Sereno and Sol de Maria) Location: Qualistage (Rio de Janeiro, RJ) Date: June 16, 2023 Quote: ★ ★ ★ ★ ♪ As soon as the image of Preta Gil appeared on the screen – as a member of the female vocal quartet formed with niece Flor Gil, sister-in-law Mariá Pinkusfeld and sister Nara Gil – for the Qualistage audience to applaud the singer with enthusiasm. In the fight against bowel cancer, Preta took advantage of the break in treatment to, released by the doctors, share the stage with her family at the Brazilian premiere of the show Nós, a gente last night, June 16, in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Moments later, when formally introduced by Gil, Preta Gil received an ovation that brought her to tears. The affection directed by the public and by the family to Preta marked a happy night, guided by the family communion of this tour that passed through Europe before arriving in Brazil. Strictly speaking, the show should have been called Gil e sua gente, as the patriarch – one of the giants of MPB that emerged in the era of festivals – supports the family in the solid work that he has been building since 1962, the year of the first disc recordings, made in the Salvador (BA) Natal. There was a solo moment by Preta Gil with Sinais de Fogo (2003) – confirmed as one of the great songs in the partnership of Ana Carolina with Antonio Villeroy – and with Vá se benzer (Leonardo Reis, Deco Simões, Emerson Taquari and Sergio Rocha, 2017) . This number was the vehicle for Preta to salute her godmother Gal Costa (1945 – 2022), with whom she recorded the song on the album Toda as cores (2017), and for the singer to assert herself on stage with a phrase (“I am black, I am fat, I’m bisexual. I’m being treated for cancer. I’m single. And I’m the daughter of the immortal Gilberto Gil”), which provoked immediate empathy in the public. There was the moment of the bursting youth trio Gilsons in which Fran, João and José sang the hit “Various complaints” (Germano Meneghel, Narcisinho and Afro Jhow, 2012). There were solos by Flor Gil – a teenage singer with a voice still in the process of maturing – in the samba Garota de Ipanema (Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, 1962) and, later, in Era nova (1977), a lesser-known song from the grandfather. And there was the inclusion of a tribute to Rita Lee (1947 – 2023) with the beautiful song of Ovelha negra (1975) by the female quartet after Gil gave due rock weight to De leve (Get back) (John Lennon and Paul McCartney, 1970, in Portuguese version by Gilberto Gil, 1977). Gilberto Gil (on the guitar) sings ‘Metáfora’ with his grandson Bento (on the tambourine) Babi Furtado / Qualistage Disclosure However, the foundation of the 24-song script was the plural songbook of the patriarch, composer who started with Luiz Gonzaga (1912 – 1989) , marveled at João Gilberto (1931 – 2019) – duly rewarded in the double with his grandson Bento in O Pato (Jayme Silva and Neuza Teixeira, 1960) and Metaphor (Gilberto Gil, 1982), with grandfather and grandson alternating on tambourine and on the minimalist guitar – and glimpsed the tropicalist morning, spreading freely through funk and reggae in the creation and remake of work guided by blackness. “Ancestry is what they talk about at home”, he said after singing Baba Alapalá (Gilberto Gil, 1977), a tribute to the orixá Xangô in the touch of the goddess of African music. Master of himself and of the monumental work, Gil led the family in a festive show that had one or two more intimate numbers, especially Fran’s sensitive solo in Leaving you (1982). One or two less popular songs by the composer, such as ijexá Serafim (1991), entered the script alongside infallible authorial hits such as Palco (1980), Andar com fé (1982) – a number adorned with the dance of Bela Gil, her only daughter of the patriarch who doesn’t sing – and, as part of the encore, the samba “Aquele Abraço” (1969) and the stylized ijexá “Every girl from Bahia” (1979). In an atmosphere of family harmony between three generations, corroborated by the images displayed on the screen and by the complicity with which the eldest daughter Nara Gil fell into the swing of the samba Amor till the end (1966) in front of her father, Gil’s people cherished each other on stage under the musical direction of Bem Gil, proudly exhibited the graceful grandchildren still children – with Sereno already showing his childish skills in handling the guitar – and celebrated the union to the sound of the patriarch’s songbook, firm at (almost) 81 years of age to support the offspring in the affectionate scene of the show We, we.
