About This Event:
Brazil’s musical ambassador for more than 40 years, the singer, composer, and guitar player (and former Minister of Culture) particularly known for his bossa Nova, was a pioneer of tropicalia and Brasileira. “There may have been one man onstage, but there was enough warmth, love, intelligence and sheer talent on display to power an orchestra.” (Variety) “Delicate bossa novas, strummed rockers and intricate sambas … Mr. Gil didn’t trumpet his virtuosity. It was offered genially, like his melodies and his undidactic thoughts on love, poetic license and mortality.” (The New York Times)
This event has been financially assisted by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, a program of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, administered by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund Corporation.
