Eletroacustico [Import]

• Track Listing

Recorded live in Rio de Janeiro in 2004, EletroAcustico presents Brazilian Pop icon Gilberto Gil offering up exuberant and inventive renditions of his own classics. These originals include "Refavela", which coasts along on a hypnotically percussive loop, and the lilting "Aquele Abraco", a song marked by the deft fusion of electric and acoustic instruments referred to in the concert album's title. The beloved singer/guitarist also adds a number of covers to the set, most notably a gorgeously spare take on John Lennon's "Imagine" and a vibrant version of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds".
