02x03 - Fun and Rap

Post by bunniefuu »

French kiss!

That was too much.

This French kiss thing is so funny.

-You've been together for 40 years?
-Forty-two.

That long?

I thought it was lesser than that.

Do the math, okay?

You are 80.

-You were 37 or 38 when we started dating.
-You were 17.

I was underage.

Did your family like what they saw?

MARIÁ PINKUSFELD
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

-Yes.
-The mess?

Totally.

-And our craziness.
-They were very happy.

Even my mom.

GIACOMO PIRAZZOLI
SON-IN-LAW

She studied English,
but she can't speak it.

So she only speaks Italian.
The next day she goes,

"Giacomo, I spoke to everyone.
I'm super happy."

My aunt got married again.

This is her second marriage.

Me, for example. I don't...

To me, it's a declaration
that you truly believe...

MARIA GIL
DAUGHTER AND EXECUTIVE TOUR PRODUCER

...in this institution, in this tradition.

I think it's very hard for people

to have the same ideas, at the same time.

And this can be perpetuated
for years and decades.

To me at least, it's unthinkable.

JOÃO GIL
GRANDSON

I see it happening,
but more for conformism,

and not necessarily a partnership.

Yeah.

I don't know, it's hard.

Gil Family : Traveling with the Gils

ROME
ITALY

Rome is 2,775 years old.

It goes all the way back
from 753 B.C. until today.

EDNA COSTA
CULTURAL TOUR GUIDE

It's a mixture...

We're at the Fontana di Trevi.
A very famous fountain.

Just a bit more here.

Thank you. I'll do that.

Did everyone pay the €20?
Did Bem pay for the children?

Let me say something. Will Sereno pay €20?

We never did this before.

-Is it really like this?
-I'll pay for him.

No, Sereno is included.

BEM GIL
SON

Go, Andreia. Pay for Sereno.
This will be a long discussion.

I've paid it.

-But it's wrong.
-We'll talk later.

PRETA GIL
DAUGHTER

-When?
-Not now.

I'm saying we brought the kids
many times before.

It was never like this.

DAY #16 OF THE TOUR

PORTOROŽ
SLOVENIA

PRESS CONFERENCE
PORTOROŽ, SLOVENIA

BRANE RONCEL
FESTIVAL PROMOTER

What a nice hug!

I love this concept
of a Jedi Council assembly.

Our plan for the day
is the bee hive tour and the rafting.

The apiary and the rafting.

Let's do this.

Raise your hand
if you're going to see the bees.

You wanna see the bees? Let's go rafting.

-I want to go rafting, but I can't.
-Why?

...six, seven...

Marília too.

Someone's being coerced.

JOSÉ GIL
SON

Anyone else?

They're secretly saying,
"I want to go rafting, but I can't."

-Why?
-No one is going to the bees.

I need to show my other side, okay?

BELA GIL
DAUGHTER

Bela's other side.

Will you guys come if there's propolis?

You all go wherever you want to go.

Both activities are at the same time.

You choose what you want.

-But not everyone will choose the bees.
-So what?

BENTO GIL
GRANDSON

So what?

It's not about that.

If no one chooses the bees,
no one goes to the bees.

But it's not right if Bela goes
to the bees just to fill a quota.

If she wants to go rafting, it's okay.

Where are Nino and Sereno going?

-They are going to the bees.
-Sol too.

So, Xamã joins in Aquele Abraço

and does a little rap the way he knows.

He's an improviser.

He started by doing this...

-On the streets, right?
-Yeah.

Let's go rafting.

XAMÃ
RAPPER AND SONGWRITER

-Hey, good morning.
-Good morning.

EMILIE REY
FRANCISCO GIL'S GIRLFRIEND

-Will you go rafting?
-Yeah, I will.

I'm still mustering the courage.

At least the place is f*cking beautiful.

The water is so blue, you know?

If it's crystal blue, it's cool, you know?

It's not that ugly color like in Brazil.

It's not like that. Don't say that.

-And the Northeast?
-Okay, I'm being censored.

I like this one better.

The pink one?

-I didn't play it.
-The other one is better.

This one is a little bit worse.

I'd buy it just for the aesthetics,
you know?

Do you want me to buy two?

-Buy two. It's €250.
-Each?

-Yes, each.
-How much?

-He can leave it at €250 each.
-This one is nice!

FRANCISCO GIL
GRANDSON

It already has the pickups.
It's a better guitar.

-It's a good guitar.
-And more expensive.

-How much?
-It's €700.

That's the price.
Same price for both guitars.

It's a guitar to have in the bus.

And not too much about us

I dress up, I make myself up
I fix myself, I question my mirror


The mirror in which I look at myself

Come, Sereno. Where are you?

For you to see me

Why don't you look at me face to face?

You don't make up your mind

What you lack is courage

You went after me in Guanabara

I was looking for you in Lapa

We wasted our time

When you see me

I see you light up

That flame again

FLOR GIL
GRANDDAUGHTER

-Call Xamã.
-Call Xamã.

-Call Xamã.
-So, this is the situation.

RODRIGO GODOY
SON-IN-LAW

-In our group, if you snooze, you lose.
-You lose.

If you snooze, you lose.

It's the rule.

-Can I post it?
-Yes.

First we'll go to Bled Castle,
to enjoy the view.

ANA FLACHT
TOUR GUIDE

And we'll enjoy lunch there.

And after lunch, we'll visit the apiary.

-Come on, Nino. Give me your hand!
-No.

LAKE BLED
BLED, SLOVENIA

-We are mustering the courage.
-Girls from Bahia don't like cold water.

I don't even swim at Porto da Barra.

NARA GIL
DAUGHTER

NINO GIL
GRANDSON

-This church is beautiful.
-I had several books...

-...about Europe.
-Beautiful.

-I'll take a picture.
-Castles and churches.

I was fascinated.

Me, too.

When I used to go to Switzerland
as an artist,

I would send her drawings.

Do you remember my room?
There was a picture.

It was a fax that he sent.

I faxed it to her.

And you drew

and wrote at the bottom,
"The view from my window."

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

I'll play cat's cradle.

She had that energy candy.

A candy like this.

-Pure energy.
-The white one?

-Look at her face.
-Preta used to be like this.

She used to tiptoe.

Yeah, she's just like Preta.

-She is even more restless.
-She is. Twice as much.

That's why she's a great-granddaughter.

SOČA RIVER RAFTING
BOVEC, SLOVENIA

That's amazing, man.

-Our w*r cry!
-Turtle!

The Brazilian National Rafting Team.

-Look at the water.
-Beautiful.

-Look at the water.
-I know. It's surreal.

-Want to take a swim?
-Oh, man.

-It's amazing.
-Check it out.

So contemplative.

-f*ck, man.
-Look where we are.

You can only contemplate. Just look.

-Look how happy Sereno is.
-Give me your hand!

SERENO GIL
GRANDSON

Come on, Flor!

-João!
-He nailed it, seriously.

That was f*cking awesome.

-w*r cry!
-Turtle!

AMBROZIC BEEKEEPING
SELO VILLAGE, SLOVENIA

I couldn't find it.

Can you see, Nino?

There?

-The white ring over here.
-And she's bigger.

-Like a white hat, yeah.
-Is she the queen?

Now squeeze it.

This one's good.

Dad, did you try it?

DAY #17 OF THE TOUR

Percussion is...

-Are you rested?
-Fully.

-Everyone is a musician.
-Everyone. So cool.

Really cool.

I'd like my family to be like this.
I intend to do it from now on.

I'll tell my kids, "Let's all be musicians
like the Gils."

-How are you?
-We're doing Aquele Abraço?

Do that thing?

For sure. It's the 19th song.

-The second last.
-Got it.

And after Aquele Abraço,
comes Toda Menina Baiana.

-And then...
-I can enjoy with everyone else.

-Feel free to do what you want.
-Got it.

I'll do something similar
to what we did that time.

-Rio de Janeiro, you know.
-Yeah.

Feel free to improvise.

-It's an honor.
-You are a real improviser.

Leave it to me. Come on.

Rio de Janeiro is still beautiful

Rio de Janeiro is still

Where is Xamã? There.

Rio de Janeiro
February and March


-Hello, Hello, Realengo
-A great hug!


-Hello, Flamengo fans
-A great hug!


-Hello, Realengo
-A great hug!


-Hello, Flamengo fans
-A great hug!


Chacrinha is still shaking his belly

And honking the girl
And commanding the crowd


And he's still bossing around the yard

-Hello, Mr. Chacrinha
-Old warrior


-Hello, Terezinha
-Rio de Janeiro


-Hello, Mr. Chacrinha
-Old clown


-Hello, hello, Terezinha
-A great hug!


-Hello, girl from the favela
-A great hug!


-Everyone from Portela
-A great hug!


-Every February
-A great dance move!


-Hello, Banda de Ipanema
-A great hug!


I trace my path around the world

Bahia has already given me

A ruler and a compass

-Who knows about me is me
-A great hug!


-For you who didn't forget me
-A great hug!


-Hello, Rio de Janeiro
-A great hug!


Hello, Rio de Janeiro

A great hug!

-All the Brazilian people
-A great hug!


Now Xamã will tell you

He'll tell, he'll tell

Rio de Janeiro, no sweat, coming
from Bangu, but my heart is three colored


And you know I go to Maracanã

I represent street vendors
and transport cashiers


That is, the king left the street
free-styling with the Gils in Europe


With this beat, ready for my life
Hello, Campo Grande and Santa Margarida


Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro

Blood of a warrior
You know I'm a warrior


Anywhere to represent me
You can believe, that here I'll spend


That is the poem, that is the poem

I am the son of Iracema and Moema

From Copacabana until Ipanema
You know me, this is my routine


-Amazing!
-Only eight.

Wonderful! When you're done,
the theme of the song comes.

In the end you're doubling me and...
It goes from there.

-Do you want to go again?
-It's fine by me. I'll improvise anyway.

I'm good with the Rio songs.

I represent the street vendors
And transport cashiers


Everybody puts your hand up
This is MC Xamã


I'm doing the rhyme

Tell poetry
Provoking a shiver


Together with the family
Straight talk and poetry


I am the son of God and Ms. Maria

Straight from Bangu

My peaceful heart, bro, but not only

My family is upstage

For this I ask you to make noise
And hands in the air


Come with me, I represent a family

For which I say my heart shines

All the Gil's family

Make some noise, only if you like Brazil

All the Gil's family

Make some noise, only if you like Brazil

Xamã!

Thanks for everything, Gil family!

The new Brazilian generation!

Rio de Janeiro!

Thank you!

Rio de Janeiro!

DAY #18 OF THE TOUR

PORTOROŽ, SLOVENIA

As you can see, for example,

Sereno, even Bento.
Your kids are joining this whole thing.

I believe their experience with it
comes from home.

It was very different for me
because I didn't have that with my father.

I've never pushed them towards music.

-It's true.
-Any of us.

-Yeah, all...
-"You will study!"

I remember when Bem
started to get interested in the guitar.

You asked me if I could teach him.

If I could guide Bem.

No, I can't. I don't know how to.

Let's find an instructor.

We didn't spend time together.

He was upstairs playing guitar
and would come downstairs to eat,

to take a look,
to see how things were going.

But there was no music thing.
No jamming, no singing.

But Bento, Dom, and Sereno
experience that with their parents.

RIO DE JANEIRO
BRAZIL, 2018

...the name Sereno

Grandma liked the name Sereno

BENTO, DOM AND FLOR
GRANDCHILDREN

There are two more over here

There are two more brothers to like you

Maybe it's a generational thing.

Because the younger kids
show more interest.

But I didn't have anyone who could set
that example, except for my dad.

He was my only real musical reference
when I was younger,


because later,
I had you all as a reference.


But it was Dad.

These kids
have several references in music.


They see their whole family on stage.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be Nara.
I saw Nara and wanted to be her.

And things start to repeat themselves.

Flor looked up to me and Nara
and wanted to be like us.

Sol now wants to be like Flor.

So, there's a cycle in the family.

And we see Sereno,
Dom, and Pedro joining...


The best thing about this family
is that we are inspired by our own family.

-Exactly.
-That's true.


You want to...

You want to follow your elder's footsteps.

The hairs of eternity

Are longer than the current times

They're longer than the past times

They're longer than the times of
The new age


The new, new, new, new, new age

The new age, age, age, age, age

The new, new, new, new, new age

The new age, age, age, age, age

Which always was
And always is to be born


Pay attention to Nino.

Look at this.

Oh, my God!

He was behind you.

-Look, he sends a kiss.
-Oh, my God!

-Yesterday the kids were great.
-Yes, I congratulated Sol.

The only thing that needs to change is,
when they come back,

Sereno needs to stay close to João.

ANTIBES
FRANCE

You just walked, I saw that.

DAY #20 OF THE TOUR

-Has Bela arrived? Where's she?
-Yes.

I'm here. Hi.

-Look at her.
-What's up, sis.

Let me ask you.
Does anyone have any complaints?

Dom!

So. How can I say this?

On the previous show,

Nino, Sol, and Sereno
were standing in front of the percussion.

Okay. I was on percussion.

But then, this distracted me a little.

-I see. All that mess at the front?
-Yes.

So, in my opinion,

we could change their spots.

-Right.
-Like in front of the drums,

next to my dad, or next to Flor.

Or with the vocals.
But if we can't, that's okay.

But we need to talk to him.

Give it up for him!

You are completely right.

And you are not the only one.
I felt it from the audience.

Everyone did.

So, in front of the percussion today,
you'll see Sereno,

Nino, and Sol next to Fran.

But his request is to...

Not have them...

To have no one in front of him.

No, they were in front of him.

In front of the drums is the best place.

-You should do what I told you...
-The suggestion is this.

-Move the kids somewhere else.
-Put a tape.

We put a neon tape on the floor and say,
"If you cross it, it's over."

If you move, you'll fall into lava.
You'll burn your feet.

I think that we have to talk about this.

-We have to talk about this.
-The music is for the audience.

-You have to know what it means.
-It's not just for the kids to have fun.

It is also fun for the kids,
but it's not only that.

-They are learning.
-They'll move around after the third song.

Their minds can't understand that.

Children are like magnets,
they will attract one another.

No, I'm sorry, man.
I think this is underestimating the kids.

That's what you're doing.

Not being able to explain to kids this age

the importance
and the whole context of a concert...

Man, children like him
do even things like...

But he can concentrate.
If you explain it to him and teach him.

José, did anyone tell these children?

-You're right.
-Has anyone?

-I did a few times.
-No one ever did.

Silence!

Sol de Maria will be on my side.
Between me and dad.

Nino and Sesê will be in front
of the drums, a little to the side.

I don't want to be in front of the drums.
I want to be with my sister.

I guess it's better if Sereno
stays in front of Flor as well,

-because I feel...
-They want to be together.

...better with my sister on the show,

and I know I can't fight her
during the show.

And I can't fight Sereno.

So I think it's better if Sereno

stays with me inside that...

That's it.

-Inside the neon tape.
-Yes, perfect.

And that will settle it.

It's me

The one who smokes, who drinks, who sleeps

Who speaks, who yells, who bites

Who pays, who loses, who suffers

It's me

The one who is born owing, who runs

Who is ghetto, who is g*y, who is poor

Man and woman

Go bless yourself

Don't pretend to be a saint
I'm not like you


I don't believe what I see on TV

My blood is strong

Of noble origin

Black, white, indigenous, I am

I am me, tell me who are you

JAZZ À JUAN FESTIVAL

Tell me who are you

I am me, tell me who are you

I am, tell me who are you

I love you, Preta Maria.

I'm a Black woman, fat and happy!

Daughter of the immortal Gilberto Gil!

It's me

The one who smokes, who drinks, who sleeps

Who speaks, who yells, who bites

Who pays, who loses, who suffers

It's me

The one who is born owing, who runs

Who is ghetto, who is g*y, who is poor

Man and woman

Go, go bless yourself

Don't pretend to be a saint
I'm not like you


I don't believe what I see on TV

My blood is strong

Of noble origin

Black, white, indigenous, I am

I am me, tell me who you are

I am, tell me who you are

I am me, tell me who you are

-I'm Preta. Who are you?
-Sereno.

Sereno!

-And who are you?
-Nino.

Nino!

-And who are you?
-Sol!

Sereno, Sol, and Nino!

I am, tell me who you are

Tell me who are you

Tell me who are you

Preta Maria!

Give it up for the kids!

They were very well-behaved tonight.
They deserve more.

IN THE NEXT EPISODE

We're arriving in Switzerland.

European Organization
for Nuclear Research.

Barcelona, the beach.

-Brazil is so...
-So close-minded nowadays.

Close-minded.

We said, "After Juliette,
this song must remain."

It has to remain.

-Are we gonna take a shower?
-I am.

-How do we do this?
-What? We're not leaving now.

-It's in 15 minutes.
-No kidding.

Brussels Geneva

Hi!

This is Bela.

The funny part is
her introducing everyone.

"This is my sister..." We know everyone.

Gil, I love you!

Gil, I love you!

That's worth more than any song.
