In recent years, Brazil’s music scene has experienced a remarkable resurgence, capturing the attention of audiences far beyond its borders. At the heart of this vibrant movement stands Gilsons—a trio whose name has become synonymous with the contemporary evolution of Música Popular Brasileira (MPB).
Formed by Francisco Gil, João Gil, and José Gil, the group represents both a continuation and a reimagining of Brazilian musical heritage. As the sons and grandsons of the legendary Gilberto Gil—a towering figure in Brazil’s cultural history—Gilsons carry forward a rich legacy. Yet their sound is entirely their own: a fresh, pop-tinged take on MPB, infused with the infectious rhythms of Bahia and shaped by a global outlook.
Their meteoric rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a string of hit songs, millions of devoted listeners, and a Latin Grammy nomination under their belt, Gilsons have quickly emerged as one of Brazil’s most compelling musical exports. Their music bridges generations, seamlessly blending traditional roots with modern sensibilities, resulting in a sound that feels both timeless and unmistakably current.
Whether performing live or in the studio, Gilsons exude a joyful, melodic energy that captivates audiences. Their collaborative spirit has led to partnerships with some of the biggest names in Brazilian music, further cementing their place as standard-bearers for a new era of MPB.
As they continue to tour internationally, the trio brings with them the unmistakable warmth, soul, and rhythm of Brazil—an experience that’s as exhilarating as it is heartfelt.
Don’t miss the chance to see Gilsons live, and witness the future of Brazilian music as it unfolds before your eyes.
