Gilberto Gil (1971, London)

Gilberto Gil's 1971 self-titled album, recorded in London during his exile, folds the rock, folk, and reggae he was hearing in England into his Brazilian songwriting. Made far from home under the dictatorship, it documents how exile reshaped his sound. The record anticipates the rhythmically expanded music he would bring back to Brazil in 1972.
