About Gilsons
Gilsons is a Brazilian trio made up of members of Gilberto Gil's family — a son and grandsons of the Tropicália figure — who came together as a group in their own right rather than as a legacy act. Their music sits in the broad MPB tradition, built on close vocal harmonies and acoustic guitars, with reggae rhythms and samba pulling at the arrangements.
The songwriting favours warmth and melody over complication, and the three voices trading and stacking lines is the defining feature of the sound. The group has found a substantial audience in Brazil since its formation.
