Gil's first album back in Brazil after spending two years in London exile, is plenty of rhythm pulsating driving, funky bass, hammering piano, and percussive guitar work. The album Expresso 2222 presents a mature Gil in music and life's experience.

This album mixes Rock and Roll, Baião, Banda de Pífanos, Samba, Psychedelic and hypnotic vibes on tunes like "Oriente" and "Ele e Eu". The Brazilian swing in "Expresso 2222". "O Canto da Ema" with an electric guitar making a clear sanfona's rhythm groove. The Jazz Rock in "Back in Bahia"... All of this appears like a great balance of your full career.
