Presented by Educarte

GILSONS
Brazil
https://www.instagram.com/gilsonsoficial/
Formed in 2018, Gilsons continue the musical legacy of their father and grandfather, Gilberto Gil, a leading artist in the Tropicália movement of 1960s Brazil. Gilsons is the musical partnership of Francisco, João, and José Gil, a leading band of the new Brazilian popular music (MPB), blending influences of pop rock, samba, reggae, and Bahian rhythms alongside the sounds of classic MPB.

After a series of successful releases, including their smash hits “Várias Queixas” and “Devagarinho,” the band won a 2022 Latin GRAMMY®  for their debut album “Pra Gente Acordar.” The trio has toured at major festivals throughout Brazil—including performing on the  Sunset Stage of Rock In Rio to an audience of over 100,000 people, as well as at Lollapalooza Brazil in 2023. 

Formada em 2018, os Gilsons continuam o legado musical de seu pai e avô, Gilberto Gil, um dos principais artistas do movimento Tropicália do Brasil dos anos 1960. Gilsons é a parceria musical de Francisco, João e José Gil e uma das principais revelações da nova geração do MPB que mistura influências de pop rock, samba, reggae e ritmos baianos ao som da música popular brasileira (MPB).

Após uma série de lançamentos bem-sucedidos, incluindo os sucessos "Várias Queixas" e "Devagarinho", a banda ganhou um Latin GRAMMY® em 2022 pelo álbum de estreia "Pra Gente Acordar". O trio já se apresentou em grandes festivais em todo o Brasil, incluindo shows no Sunset Stage do Rock In Rio para um público de mais de 100.000 pessoas, assim como no Lollapalooza Brasil em 2023.

**Ticket buyers email addresses will be shared with Educarte.**
