More than a farewell, a black encounter with Gilberto Gil demonstrated the great artist who was

The direct and often missing style with which he treated all aspects of his life made the professionals of the press – I too – I see his talent suspicion as a singer

It was April 26 and Gilberto Gil commanded the show Time re In Allianz Parque, in San Paolo. Shortly after singing the reflective I want to talk to GodMusic that speaks of acceptance and humility in front of the divine, the singer and composer of the Bahians has practically whispered the name of his daughter: “Pretinha”, he said. It was the password for Black Gil He enters the scene, supported by his sister, Nara Gil and his sister -in -law Mariá Pinkusfeld, for an emotional version of Darm.

Preta Maria Gadelha Gil Moreira, who died on Sunday 20 July, after a long battle against cancer, was one of the “cereals” of her father’s relationship with Sandra Gadelha, who separated in 1982. He had already dedicated the song to his daughter in a presentation in March in the city of Salvador. “I can’t explain what I tried today, in time I only know how to thank you !!! Thanks for everything !!!! I love you !!!!”, he wrote on his social networks.

The direct and often widespread style with which he treated all aspects of his life made the professionals of the press – I too – I see his talent suspicion as a singer. The debut album, Pret-a-porterSince 2003, in which he appears naked on the cover (action that his father, Gilberto, classified as “unnecessary”), has not contributed to dissipating prejudice. He attracted more attention to this detail than for the quality of the material, a collection of songs of good origin, which indicated influences of Axé and Soul Music. From there, the success came out Signs of fireby Ana Carolina, who became one of the salient moments of his repertoire.

His discography brings other creative incursions to the pop world. As a single Backwardslaunched in February 2024. The verse “The smile that returned to the sun” was a sign of hope in the fight against cancer, diagnosed in January 2023, which seemed to have been won in December of the same year. “The song defines my current moment, when I went around and I won the cancer. I went back to the sun after winning a battle,” he said in an interview. The same single brought Disc axisPartnership with Psyrico, which established a connection between the Bahian and American genres. “Diversity and innovation contributed to the popularity of national pop and wanted to bring it to my new job”.

The singer received his part of twisted nasi because he is the daughter of one of the greatest names of MPB and has signed with a great label (Warner, who for many years has released his father’s albums). But black, above all, is an example of persistence. He heard Gilberto Gil one himself “go in search of your class” when he ordered musical advice and he was able to surround us from some of the best musicians of his generation -tra the guitarists from Moraes and Pedro Baby, and the bassist in aguiar concrete, heirs of the new Baianos and the keyboard player Donatinho, I am by João Donato. Preta, 2005, is even more determined, produced by David Moraes and an irresistible foray into the Bahian and Carioca sounds.

Preta has gone through difficult times, which happened shortly after her album debut. When the financial situation squeezed, he moved with his son, Francisco, to a bedroom of his mother’s house, Sandra Gadelha, where he exchanged the plans to reconstruct his career. The beginning (Re) took place in 2008. The show Night night He made his debut in Botafogo hell, Rio de Janeiro, where they adapt to a maximum of 80 people. From there he moved to a place in Laranjeiras with a capacity of 400 payments and moved to another larger, which housed 3,000 admirers. In 2009, just over a year after its artistic Renaissance, he created the black ball, which brought 300,000 people to the Rio Carnival. “You have to do your audience,” he told me in an interview that mine kept in pandemic times and in which I came out of his foot, his artistic vision and his wit.

One of the times I saw a performance prete was at a closed event, a party of a company that promoted shows and theaters. The black, there, showed that it was a entertainer Cream, playing songs from various musical styles – came from her or other authors – and animating an audience that was not visibly yours. And like the great stars I saw on a stage, he managed to become a game that was not in his favor. At the end of the show, we were all pronounced, right to choreography.

On April 26, Preta Gil moved everyone to the Allianz Parque with his duet with his father in music Darm. Shortly thereafter, he would leave for the United States where he would suffer care with new drugs. More than a farewell, as shown this meeting with Gil, there was proof that it was a great artist.
