Gilberto Gil

• TRANSPARENT BEER 180 GRAM VINYL

• INCLUDES 2 BONUS TRACKS

Released in 1971 while Gil was living in London, this is the third self-titled release from the bossa nova and tropicalia legend. Gil recorded this album while in political exile from his native Brazil and its somber, straightforward tone is a welcome change from the experimental, psychedelic assault of his 1969 long player. Featuring 8 originals plus 2 bonus tracks including covers of Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. A tropicalia classic!
