Gil Felix

NEW SONG 10/12!

VOU PERGUNTAR

“O mundo é um bagunça ou organização

Uns sobe desse uns morrem

Outros nasce na ilusão

Sorriso ou uma lágrima

Tristeza ou emoção

É dia a noite esfria um alegria um relação

Que isso uma queda tia

Foi sim um empurrão

VERDADE CEGA

- from EP América Abubaka II!

“Verdade Cega” by Gil Felix is a vibrant and authentic piece that masterfully blends the

infectious energy of axé with the melodic sensibility of pop worldbeat showcasing a

remarkable level of compositional maturity.

The lyrics are sharp, poetic, and

socially aware, delivering powerful

messages with musical grace. (... )

The song dances between protest and celebration, offering both groove and meaning."
