Music reviews of Banda Larga Cordel

Music Review: Reggae-style pop and exquisitely modernised samba and bossa nova.Excellent.
Rating: 4 Stars

"Banda Larga Cordel" is classic Gil, as demonstrated by "Amor De Carnaval" and the bossa nova based "Outras Viram".
There are of course the other expected elements of pop, reggae and samba throughout with a couple of tracks that could stand alone, which in the old days would be released as singles. "Nao Grude Nao" is an uplifting flirtatious track borrowing styles from forro with great flute work interspersed with dancefloor electronic beats.
The other is "La Renaissance Africaine" is a francophonic track written for the African Festival of Black Arts, which will leave its catchy melody running around your head hours later
Gil has traveled a long and interesting road since creating the Tropicalia sound in the late sixties. Music that once got him booed off stage as he fused regional Brazilian styles with outside rock instruments and influences. Music that also led to Gil's detention and temporary exile, as his lyrics made oblique references to and criticised the military occupation.
Forty years on, with over fifty albums to his name, a cabinet of awards including seven Grammys, you might expect a "best of luxury cd box set", issued in time for the Christmas stockings.
Instead Gil gives us an album, in the main full of new compositions with the subtle use of electronica to reaffirm and bolster the sound he is best known for.
His vocals only ever so slightly husky, could belong to a man 40 years his junior, reassuring in the knowledge that Gil had to take time out after a polyp, now removed, wreaked havoc with his vocal chords.
It's a joy to have him back. His laid back vocals are given a wide range of musical settings to wow us with, from the beats of "Le Renaissance Africaine" to the simplicity of an acoustic guitar on "Outros Viram".
Excellent.
Have a pleasant listening experience.

Description of Banda Larga Cordel

Grammy Award winning artist Gilberto Gil brings us Banda Larga, a new album that he is using to promote his love for the new technologies and formats for music. As he embraces the changing music platforms he wants to use them to bring his music to as many people as possible. He has been interested in technology for many years as reflected in his music. Songs like Cerebro Electronica or Futurivel (1969) for instance, or even Cibernetica (1974) or Parabolicamara (1991), and most recently his award winning double album Quantra, in which he assembled a large part of his reflections of Art & Science exemplify this fascination. Gilberto Gil is taking these interests on the road with him with his latest release Banda Larga.
