Summary: Natural Genius
Comment: Agreed with David McKinney's review fully. Caetano's quote in the liner notes says it all: "Gil believes in God. I believe in him."
This man Gil in my estimation stands with Mother Teresa, Vaclav Havel, Martin Luther King....it's no wonder that Brazilians burst into tears when he appears....his songs have the same effect on me and I can hardly speak a lick of Portuguese!

Summary: 8th Wonder of the World?
Comment: It's entirely possible that someone, somewhere, at some time, has created a recording of greater honesty, peace, and pure musical achievement than this one--I just haven't heard it yet.
Gil is a musical prophet, statesman, and healer; I regard this record as one of the greatest artistic achievements of humankind.
To know that a human being currently residing on the planet is capable of this is comforting and inspiring to me more than words could possibly convey.

Comment: A very nice mix of old and new Gil sounds. Alive as always.
