Gilberto Gil’s 1977 album “Refavela” is a unique creation shaped by various encounters. Inspired by his visit to Nigeria during the 2nd World Festival of Black Arts and Culture, this album draws from African influences, funk, and Brazilian music. The compositions blend African rhythms and funk with poetic lyrics, with tracks like “Balafon” featuring the traditional African instrument, and “Babá Alapalá” exploring his ancestry and the Egungun cult. “Refavela” represents a significant turning point in Gilberto Gil’s career, bridging distant realities and showcasing the rich parallels between them, creating a timeless work of art.
