Gilberto Gil's Human-Powered Tour
For the Brazilian musical idol Gilberto Gil, the cultural always is the political -- and vice versa. It has been that way since the 1960s, when Gil and several artistic comrades were imprisoned and driven into London exile by Brazil's ruling military junta. Ostensibly, Gil and his colleagues, including Caetano Veloso , were guilty of stirring ...

Cris Aflalo: Quase Tudo Da
by Matt Cibula

It was one of the best albums of any kind released in 2004--but she's been gone far too long. So ...
