Gilberto Gil is a Brazilian singer, guitarist and songwriter, and the country’s current Minister of Culture. Gil is best known for his late 1960s tropicalismo recordings, including “Roda”, “Lunik 9”, and “Domingo No Parque”. Elis Regina recorded many of his songs.

When President Lula da Silva took office in January 2003, he chose Gil to serve as Brazil’s new Minister of Culture. During his Ministry, Gil released his songs Refazenda, Rebento, Refavela and ‘Oslodum’ under the Creative Commons Sampling License.
