João Gil

João Gil, composer and guitarist, is one of the most recognized names in Portuguese music. From Trovante to Filarmónica Gil, passing through Ala dos Namorados, Rio Grande, Cabeças no Ar, Baile Popular, or, more recently, the Tais Quais or Quinteto Lisboa, João Gil's life is marked by great successes that surpass the notoriety of the groups he has been part of and in which he has made his strong contribution.

In 2022, he released "46 JG 22", a celebration of 46 years of career marked by an album entirely composed, written, and performed by João Gil. More recently, he released "Só Se Salva o Amor", which proposes a reflection on democracy and freedom in the year that celebrates 50 years since the April 25th Revolution.

After some interruptions, the year 2023 marked the return of Ala dos Namorados, with João Gil and Nuno Guerreiro at the helm and a new album, "Brilhará". Joining them are Rúben Alves on piano, Alexandre Frazão on drums, Nelson Cascais on double bass, and Luís Cunha on trumpet.

Over more than 40 years of Portuguese music, João Gil stands out as the composer of some songs that will forever be part of the national collective memory: "Saudade", "125 Azul", "Loucos de Lisboa", "Postal dos Correios", among many others, are examples of songs with João Gil's signature that have become true phenomena of popularity.
