Preta Gil died on July 20th
Gilberto Gil He returned to the stage almost a month after the loss of his daughter, the singer Black Gil. The artist performed in San Paolo last Sunday (17/8) and electrified the public by dedicating a tribute to his daughter, who died on July 20, at the age of 50, due to cancer in the intestine diagnosed in 2023.
When the interpretation of “Drão” is started, composed of him to Sandra Gadelha “Black mother and with whom she was married for about 11 years,” said Gil: “Every time I sang this song I have been singing for her lately. In recent years, always for her. One of the girls at home, our black girlfriend. It was made for her mother.”
The song also scored the last moment in which father and daughter shared the stage. In April of this year, during the “time King” tour in Sao Paulo, Preta Gil joined his father in the performance and together they sang the song.
