After an intense Carnival in charge of Box Expresso 2222, Gilberto Gil packed his bags and is off to Europe with his son Bem and musician Jaques Morelenbaum. They are back on their "The String Concert" tour, which went through the United States last year.
* The group is going to play in seven countries and then go on to Israel, Singapore, South Korea and China. There will be 19 performances in less than two months! As the name implies, the show is a concert of strings, six from each acoustic guitar – Gil’s and Bem’s – and four from Jaques’s cello. The performance, incidentally, just screams Gil: a mix of rhythms and lyrics in which he sings "Nightingale" – in English – and goes from bossa nova to rock, salsa, reggae, samba and funk.
* And there is more: in late April, Gil is going to Australia to shoot another part of the “Connection South". Wow, when does he sleep?
