After three years away, Gilberto Gil returns to perform in Italy with three concerts between spring and summer. The Brazilian musician will play on April 6th at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone in Rome, on April 8th at the Alcatraz in Milan, and on July 10th in Perugia, as part of the Umbria Jazz lineup.
The dates are part of the "Tempo Rei" tour, already met with great enthusiasm in Brazil, offering a journey through more than sixty years of his career. The setlist draws on some of the best-known songs from Gil's repertoire, including "Aquele Abraço", "Toda Menina Baiana", "Expresso 2222", "Palco" and "Não Chore Mais", capturing the variety of a musical language that weaves together samba, bossa nova, tropicalismo and international influences.
On stage he will be joined by a special lineup made up of members of his family: Bem Gil, José Gil, João Gil and Flor Gil, taking part on vocals and instruments in a setup that also reflects the project's generational dimension.
The Milan show will be opened by singer-songwriter Marco Castello, performing an acoustic set. The Italian concerts are organized by Intersuoni BMU in collaboration with Bass Culture and, for the Rome date, with Fondazione Musica per Roma.
Tickets are available through major pre-sale outlets.
