Gil Felix

Gil Felix from Salvador de Bahía, Mandingo and Brasilero, embodies the Afro-Brazilian experience, with family roots in both West Africa and South America. Gil Felix has created a unique pan-ethnic sound inspired by Gilberto Gil, Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Olodum, and Salif Keita. In Gil Felix's music, the regional Bahian Reconcavo culture meets Caribbean and African musicality: Bossa Nova, Samba Reggae, Rocksteady, Soukous, and Afropop in a unique musical universe. The result is an irresistible polyrhythmic swing, where storytelling about mankind's history and our African roots is combined with poetic paintings of everyday life.
