Gilberto Gil(born 26 June 1942) is a Brazilian singer, guitarist and songwriter, and the country's current Minister of Culture. Gil is best known for his late 1960s tropicalismo recordings, including "Roda", "Lunik 9", and "Domingo No Parque". Elis Regina recorded many of his songs. He began his career as a bossa nova musician, but soon began writing songs that reflected a new focus on political awareness and social activism, along with fellow singer Caetano Veloso. In the 1970s, Gil added new elements of African and North American music to his already broad palette, and continued to release a steady stream of albums, including Realce and Refazenda.

SUPERHOMEM - A CANaaO
Gilberto Gil
1979
Um dia
Vivi a ilusao de que ser homem bastaria
Que o mundo masculino tudo me daria
Do que eu quisesse ter
Que nada
Minha porao mulher, que ata entao se resguardara
a a porao melhor que trago em mim agora
a que me faz viver
Quem dera
Pudesse todo homem compreender, oh, mae, quem dera
Ser o verao o apogeu da primavera
E sa por ela ser
Quem sabe
O Superhomem venha nos restituir a glaria
Mudando como um deus o curso da histaria
Por causa da mulher
