In episode #88, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Refazenda, the landmark album released by Gilberto Gil in 1975. Conceived as a return to his Northeastern roots, the record marked a decisive shift away from the Tropicalia movement and the more rock-oriented phase of his career
Refazenda features key collaborations with accordion master Dominguinhos, who co-wrote classics such as “Tenho Sede” and “Lamento Sertanejo.” The change in direction was warmly received by audiences, making the album Gil’s biggest commercial success and launching his celebrated trilogy — alongside Refavela and Realce.
