Album Notes & Community Reviews
Returning to Brazil from his London exile, Gilberto Gil celebrated his homecoming with an incredibly vibrant, wonderfully joyous explosion of rhythm and energy. 'Expresso 2222' is a remarkably uplifting, wildly eclectic Tropic谩lia masterwork, seamlessly blending deeply tropical samba-rock grooves with intensely happy, highly psychedelic jazz-rock improvisations.
