Tropicalia: Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil on music, Brazil & friendship - BBC News

Brazilian music would probably not have developed as it did over the past decades years if not for Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, two of the country's most important musicians.
Now at age 72, they are still far from retiring and are setting off on their first tour together since 1994. Veloso and Gil performed Nine Out of Ten together for the BBC.

The Bob Dylan and John Lennon of Brazil. Sorry for that, but it’s true. I know no Portuguese, but these two men’s records are special to me. They’ve helped me get through some rough times. I respect their love for justice and for Mother Earth. They are great examples for those of us in 2020 living under near-fascistic leaders, in the US and Brazil.

[@Pepinyo33]

Wise words Sir. Sharing your appreciation for these two & wishing you in the US all the very best, may we come together at some point down this dark, scary road we are on.

[@charold3]

@@Pepinyo33 Kind words. Thanks and peace.

Cringe. Fascism died in 1945. Get over it.

Read Caetano's Tropical Truth - it's incredible

[@betovasconcelos9918]

Gil e Caetano representam o Brasil vaidoso, inteligente, orgulhoso e capaz. Viva!!

[@kierannee528]

Correcting "oh god" with "man" feels like tropicalia in a nutshell. True genius straight from the soul

Gostaria desses caras nas minhas ideias, e minhas ideias nas desses caras...5 anos em 1968 e eu sonhava nas palavras de 1 tio q morVa no Rio e q era estudante....ainda hoje sinto.

Achei very funny 3 brasileiros falando em inglês numa entrevista

[@vilmarpereira8471]

Pensei a mesma coisa quando vi , depois percebi que era para BBC de Londres !!

[@mikeberry2332]

Fantastico!

[@MegalocefaloBill]

Tá aí uma das poucas coisas pra ser orgulhar na cultura brasileira!

[@matheusmoita]

Pô, dá uma estudada na cultura brasileira que você vai ver que tem muito mais do que isso. A riqueza cultural do nosso país é gigante, muito mais do que imaginamos.

[@gabrieldeoliveira6790]

pena que tu deves saber tão pouco da cultura brasileira

[@TheYamiumY]

2 cantores fantásticos, só da uma pena de ver o exterior dando mais valor a uma coisa nossa do que nós mesmos

[@flaviorocha9458]

+Gustavo Oliveira você não acha que os brasileiros apreciam Caetano e Gil?

[@TheYamiumY]

Sinceramente, não como deveriam

+Gustavo Oliveira como não?! eles sao ultra considerados, às vezes até mais do que realmente merecem...rs

[@eduardoc6441]

Oh yeah? Brazilians don't really appreciate them? What a shame they are loved and respected everywhere!

[@jarlon13]

[@jwardbass4452]

I am deeply grateful they have interviews in English, I’m big fans of their music and how they never allowed themselves to be silenced!!!

[@LeachC93]

does anyone know if either of these two knew Bert Jansch or John Renbourn during their time in London?

[@andremarcos777]

[@poliglotismo_languages]

A canção é "Nine out of ten" do Caetano Veloso.

🤮

[@cesarcoelho7227]

reality is majority of Brazilians don’t adore them. They are on PT side which is the most corrupted party in the Brazilian politics. Gil as minister of culture didn’t do anything to lower classes in Brazil.
All BS!!!!

[@abababababababa8947]

sai daqui rapaz

Nonsense.
