Doces Bárbaros — Outros (Doces) Bárbaros
Recorded 2002
Praia de Copacabana; Parque do Ibirapuera · Rio de Janeiro; São Paulo · 
Brazil
“To watch the four members of Doces Bárbaros return to their 1976 project on two outdoor stages in December 2002.”
Context
Twenty-six years separate the formation of Doces Bárbaros from this outdoor reunion. In December 2002, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil and Maria Bethânia return to their collective project in two cities. The Pão Music series brings the quartet to Ibirapuera and Praia de Copacabana.
Andrucha Waddington follows the preparations, moving between the stage, rehearsals and conversations. Gil takes on musical direction and introduces two compositions written for the occasion: Máquina de Ritmo and Outros Bárbaros. The film opens with his acoustic guitar, while the editing connects the work of putting the reunion together with the songs that reach the audience.
The reunion is released on DVD in 2004 through a partnership between Biscoito Fino and Conspiração Filmes. Rather than preserving only a sequence of stage performances, the documentary keeps the backstage footage alongside the shows. The film leaves room for the four to work out how they make music together, not just revisit a shared repertoire.
- Gil introduces Máquina de Ritmo and Outros Bárbaros, written for the reunion.
