Gilberto Gil is celebrating his 82nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.
Popular musician-guitarist-singer Gilberto Gil (Gil Luminoso, Realce, Louvação, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 82nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Gil, a cultural icon
Born Gilberto Passos Gil Moreira in Salvador de Bahia on June 26, 1942, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history. Gil's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Gilberto hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Gilberto Gil as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 82.
Happy Birthday, Gilberto, you're the best!
