Après plusieurs décennies de succès internationaux, le maître de la musique brésilienne Gilberto Gil part pour une tournée d’un nouveau genre à travers l’hémisphère sud. De Bahia, il se rend dans les territoires aborigènes d’Australie, puis dans les townships d’Afrique du Sud pour terminer son périple au cœur de l’Amazonie brésilienne. Avec la même passion, Gil poursuit son action débutée en tant que premier Noir devenu ministre de la Culture : promouvoir la diversité culturelle dans un monde globalisé. Au fil des rencontres et des concerts se dévoile sa vision d’un futur pluriel et interconnecté, riche d’espoirs, d’échanges… et bien sûr de musique !

Viramundo – A musical journey with Gilberto Gil
The first international cinematographic film ever dedicated to Gilberto Gil.

After decades of sold out shows and international recognition, musician Gilberto Gil embarks on a new kind of world tour through the southern hemisphere. From Brazil to Australia and South Africa, Gil continues the work he began as Brazil’s first black Minister of Culture – promoting the power of cultural diversity in a globalized world and sharing his vision for our future: a diverse, interconnected planet filled with hope, exchange…and of course music!

In the film, Gilberto Gil sets off from his native city: Salvador de Bahia, the Afro-Brazilian state capital by definition, the town where Black Brazilian activism took root and where there is a proliferation of afoxés which are the carnival bands linked to the Afro-Brazilian religion, Candomblé. We see him alongside the Filhos de Gandhi, an afoxé founded in 1949 and very active in the Black Consciousness Movement. We then follow him to Aboriginal Australia and South Africa, where he encounters situations and contexts far from those of contemporary Brazil. Finally, he returns to the heart of Amazonia, where the native inhabitants have been partially left out of the Brazilian « miracle ». Throughout the film, real situations confront Gilberto Gil’s vision: how to live together and go beyond racial differences? how to preserve and recognize minority cultures? What is the role of new technologies in such context? Gil’s experience and his wisdom gained over the years is put to test during the trip. In Viramundo, Gilberto Gil is asked to be what he is: an artist politically committed to building a better world.
