He began his career as a bossa nova musician, but soon began writing songs that reflected a new focus on political awareness and social activism, along with fellow singer Caetano Veloso. In the 1970s, Gil added new elements of African and North American music to his already broad palette, and continued to release a steady stream of albums, including Realce and Refazenda. João Gilberto recorded Gil's "Eu Vim da Bahia" ("I Came from Bahia") on his classic João Gilberto LP.
In 1969, Gil and Veloso, whose status in Brazil was, and is, equivalent to that of John Lennon and Paul McCartney in the English-speaking world, were arrested by the military government of Brazil for anti-government activities. Upon their release, the pair both moved to London. Gil began playing with groups like Yes, Pink Floyd and The Incredible String Band, while continuing his solo career. In the 1970s, he toured the US and recorded an English-language album. He worked with Jimmy Cliff and released in 1980 a cover of "No Woman, No Cry" (Bob Marley & the Wailers) that was a massive hit and introduced reggae to Brazil.
Gil continued recording, performing and involving himself in various social causes, and was eventually elected a city councillor in his home town Salvador in 1989. His 1993 album with Caetano Veloso, Tropicália 2, featured a cover of a Jimi Hendrix song, "Wait Until Tomorrow", and is regarded as one of his finest efforts since the late 1960s.
When President Lula da Silva took office in January 2003, he chose Gil to serve as Brazil's new Minister of Culture, a post he held until 2008. While minister, Gil released his songs "Refazenda", "Rebento" and "Refavela" under the Creative Commons Sampling License.
In May 2005 Gil was awarded the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm, Sweden. He was the first Latin American recipient of the annual award, which was given to him by the King of Sweden. Gil also performed four songs in an outdoors concert the day before the award show and again at the show with only two songs, accompanied by Jimmy Cliff.
In September 2005 he was awarded the Légion d'honneur from the French Government. This coincided with the Année du Brésil en France (Brazil's Year in France).
His daughter Preta Gil is also a musician.

Punk da Periferia
Gilberto Gil
Das feridas
Que a pobreza cria
Sou o pus
Sou o que de resto
Restaria aos urubus
Pus por isso mesmo
Este blusão carniça
Fiz no rosto
Este make-up pó caliça
Quis trazer assim
Nossa desgraça à luz...
Sou um punk da periferia
Sou da Freguesia do Ó
Ó! Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó!
Aqui prá vocês!
Sou da Freguesia...(2x)
Ter cabelo
Tipo índio moicano
Me apraz!
Saber que
Entraremos pelo cano
Satisfaz!
Vós tereis um padre
Prá rezar a missa
Dez minutos antes
De virar fumaça
Nós ocuparemos
A Praça da Paz...
Sou um punk da periferia
Sou da Freguesia do Ó
Ó! Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó!
Aqui prá vocês!
Sou da Freguesia...(2x)
Transo lixo
Curto porcaria
Tenho dó
Da esperança vã
Da minha tia
Da vovó
Esgotados
Os poderes da ciência
Esgotada
Toda a nossa paciência
Eis que esta cidade
É um esgoto só...
Sou um punk da periferia
Sou da Freguesia do Ó
Ó! Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó Ó!
Aqui prá vocês!
Sou da Freguesia...(5x)

Eu já vejo como uma afronta. Que uma pessoa da periferia não pode ser punk
Rodrigo Holanda
Sou da área de exatas, mas se eu desse aula de Português aproveitaria toda a obra de Gil em sala de aula. Na minha humilde opinião um doa maiores letristas brasileiros. Fora de série!
