Gilberto Gil | Refavela | Album
Regular price
Refavela is a landmark 1977 studio album by the legendary Brazilian singer-songwriter Gilberto Gil, released originally via Philips Records. It serves as the iconic second installment in Gil's acclaimed "RE" trilogy, positioned between Refazenda (1975) and Realce (1979). Heavily inspired by Gil’s transformative 1977 visit to the FESTAC '77 pan-African arts festival in Nigeria, the album acts as a vital cross-cultural bridge fusing Brazilian MPB (Música popular brasileira) and samba with West African Afrobeat, juju, funk, and reggae.
