While the electric trio showed a photo of preta, Veveta praised Gilberto Gil’s daughter and spoke, with a suffocated voice, the courage with which he fixed his life. “He taught the essays, he taught his friends, who made a family. He taught the family, who he transformed into friendship of many. He taught many women, many people. Preta Gil came to bring this inspiration, love, joy, wisdom. And if the wisdom of Preta was in his courage, who are not to have the courage to be here today?”
“If there is a woman who knew he will always inspire … and it was not always the case, no! He was building his story, he was overcoming his things every day. Black was a woman in constant evolution and claimed it every day,” he added.

In the conversation with the fans, Ivete said he was in the “Trio, honoring the possibility of being here, singing for you, in full health, sharing with you this special moment. But I mean the following for you: that it is impossible not to have courage in this moment before a person of the greatest courage that he has ever known in my life, who is called prete Gil.”
“We will give! We will have fun. We miss everyone, we will miss because figures like Black are rare, they appear once and for all. He came to perform his mission here magnificently. And we will not let the business break, no! In honor of her. For her, all the energy, because she was grit and shouting.
On Friday 25, Ivete accompanied the wake and cremation of the prete Gil body, in Rio de Janeiro, together with her husband, Daniel Cady. He cried a lot and chose not to speak with the press.
