The singer also denied the amorous speculation of a possible romantic relationship with Caetano Veloso
Gilberto Gil he revealed in an interview with Veja magazine that he had already felt attracted to a man at some point in his life. The 80-year-old singer said it doesn’t compare to his attraction to women. “I’ve never had a hard relationship with a man, as they say. However, for reasons of natural delicacy, education, subtlety of relationships, I’ve already been close to the sexuality of another, of others,” he commented.
When asked if she was in a relationship with men, Gil said yes and that it hasn’t affected how she views the topic in her life. “These issues of love, friendship, respect were possible in the moments in which we approached others, but never in the same way as others. For me, they have never been the same,” he added.
Next to Flora Gil since 1988, the artist has commented that he never considered having an open relationship with his partner. “Flora and I are open to the world, but we have never assumed anything in the direction of free sex. Our relationship has enormous benevolence. There is a delicacy in the treatment and, for every ill that arises, Flora is the real remedy,” he said.
“I never liked cocaine. During my exile in London, in post-tropicalism, I took acid. I tried everything a lysergic journey offers: surrealism, surrealism and cubism. These experiments interested me at the time and were reflected in the musical attitude. It was also an element that helped to adapt to life outside and to the London atmosphere. Caetano was always ‘Caretano’, he was never interested in these trips. Rita Lee was similar to me , he appreciated these experiences,” he said.
