Gilberto Gil - Gilberto Gil (1968)

This is truly amazing, Gilberto Gil second LP recorded in the crazy year of 1968 for Philips, featuring Os Mutantes and arrangements by Maestro Rogerio Duprat. This is *the* self-explanatory release. The Beatles - Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1968), had a great influence on me and probably on Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso as you can see by this fantastic cover artwork, with references to The Beatles cover. I hope Mr. Gil will be pleased to see his album here. Loronixers will be amazed by this release. Let's see.

This is Gilberto Gil - Gilberto Gil (1968), for Philips. Little is known about musicians in this session, except by the participation of Os Mutantes, giving some 60's rock influences to overall experience. Maestro Rogerio Duprat orchestrations, blended with Os Mutantes electric guitars is worth checking. The repertoire features well-known Gilberto Gil songs with highlights to Procissao, Domingo no Parque, Ela Falava Nisso Todo Dia, among others. I urge Loronixers to feedback this release, so we can evaluate the response to late 60's Tropicalia releases. Tracks include:

01 - Frevo Rasgado (Gilberto Gil / Bruno Ferreira)
02 - Coragem Pra Suportar (Gilberto Gil)
03 - Domingou (Gilberto Gil / Torquato Neto)
04 - Marginália II (Gilberto Gil / Torquato Neto)
05 - Pega a Voga Cabeludo (Gilberto Gil / Juan Arcon)
06 - Ele Falava Nisso Todo Dia (Gilberto Gil)
07 - Procissão (Gilberto Gil)
08 - Luzia Luluza (Gilberto Gil)
