ROOTS AND JOURNEY

Gil Felix from Salvador de Bahía, mandingo and brasilero, embodies the Afro-Brazilian experience, with family roots in both West Africa and South America. Gil Felix has created a unique pan-ethnic sound inspired by Gilberto Gil, Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Oloudum, Salif Keita. In Gil Felix´ music the regional Bahían Reconcavo culture meets Caribbean and African musicality: Bossa Nova, Samba Reggae, Rocksteady, Soukous and Afropop in a unique musical universe. The result is an irresistible poly-rythmic swing, where storytelling about mankinds´ history and our African roots, is combined with poetic paintings of everyday life.
