Gilberto Gil & Maria Bethânia — 37º Festival de Jazz de Montreux
Recorded July 11, 2003
Auditorium Stravinski · Montreux · Switzerland
“To see Gil and Bethânia share the stage in Montreux during the singer's leave from his first year as minister.”
Context
In July 2003, the Minister of Culture also has commitments onstage. Gilberto Gil takes leave from his post to perform across Europe with Maria Bethânia. On July 11, the two arrive at Auditorium Stravinski for the Montreux Jazz Festival's gala night.
The partnership brings together Gil's songs and music Bethânia has made part of her own path as an interpreter. The two share musicians and repertoires on this tour. Before the performance, a note from Bethânia asks her partner to handle her soundcheck: preparation also rests on the trust between them.
The encounter remains preserved in Gil's archive, which holds audiovisual recordings as well as the song rundown and the note written at the hotel. These documents extend the story of that night beyond the Swiss stage. The performance leaves a tangible record of their musical companionship.
