Gilberto Gil
Gilberto Passos Gil Moreira (born 26 June 1942), better known as Gilberto Gil (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʒiɫˈbɛʁtu ʒiɫ] or [ʒiu̯ˈbɛɾtʊ ʒiu̯]), is a Brazilian singer, guitarist, and songwriter, known for both his musical innovation and political commitment. From 2003 to 2008, he served as Brazil's Minister of Culture in the administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Gil's musical style incorporates an eclectic range of influences, including Rock music, Brazilian genres including samba, African music, and reggae.
Gil started to play music as a child and was still a teenager when he joined his first band. He began his career as a bossa nova musician, and then grew to write songs that reflected a focus on political awareness and social activism. He was a key figure in the Música popular brasileira and tropicália movements of the 1960s, alongside artists such as longtime collaborator Caetano Veloso. The Brazilian military regime that took power in 1964 saw both Gil and Veloso as a threat, and the two were held for nine months in 1969 before they were told to leave the country. Gil moved to London, but returned to Bahia in 1972 and continued his musical career, as well as working as a politician and environmental advocate.
Gilberto Gil (1968 album)
Gilberto Gil (also commonly referred to as Gilberto Gil (Frevo Rasgado) to differentiate it from Gil's other self-titled releases) is the second album by Gilberto Gil, originally released in early 1968. The album features a blending of traditional Brazilian styles such as samba and bossa nova with American rock and roll. It also mixes Rogério Duprat's orchestral arrangements with the electric guitars of Brazilian rock group Os Mutantes.
The album is number 78 on Rolling Stone Brasil's List of 100 greatest Brazilian albums of all time. The magazine also voted the track "Domingo no Parque" as the 11th greatest Brazilian song.

Gilberto Gil (1969 album)
Gilberto Gil (also commonly referred to as Gilberto Gil (Cérebro Eletrônico) to differentiate it from Gil's other self-titled releases) is the third solo album by Gilberto Gil, originally released in 1969. The album was arranged by Rogério Duprat, and has a strong element of psychedelic rock to it, being considered by some to be his most experimental album. Since Gil was not allowed by the Brazilian military dictatorship to leave Salvador, Bahia, before being exiled to London, he recorded vocals and acoustic guitar in Salvador, and Rogério Duprat recorded the other instruments in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
The album has one of Gilberto Gil's most famous songs, "Aquele Abraço".

Tempo Só (Time Will Tell)
by: Gilberto GilJAH would never give power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell (3x)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh not the brothers
But the ones, who set them up
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell (3x)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
Oh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle the score
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more
JAH jamais permitirá que as mãos do terror
Venham sufocar o amor
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Dirá se irei luz ou permanecerei pó
Se encontrarei Deus ou permanecerei só
Se ainda hei de abraçar minha vó
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Somente o tempo, o tempo só
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you're living in hell
