For our first Brazil Issue, writer David Katz sat down with tropicalia founder Gilberto Gil at his Bahia residence and spoke about the past and present. We talk with the great percussionist Airto Moreira and the brilliant Arthur Verocai, and take a look at soul man Tim Maia. Also: Jards Macale, Ceu, Joyce, Jose Roberto Bertrami, Marcio Local.


Gilberto Gil

"In tropicalia, it was stretching the boundary, and that was really bothering some conservative sectors in Brazil, politically speaking, culturally speaking."


Tim Maia

Tim Maia was the first Black Brazilian entertainer to thoroughly break from the traditional roles as he unapologetically introduced soul music to Brazilians of all colors...


Airto

"If you didn't play exactly what they wanted, they'd tell me to stop. So I started playing with the jazz guys. I became the jazz guy, the jazz percussionist, by luck!"
