Critics and fans often project (or impose) desires and interpretations onto Gil that don't seem to fit. This book explores why familiar political and musical categories so often fall flat and explains why serendipity may instead be the best way to approach this mercurial album and the unrepeatable artist who created it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on years of listening to, studying, and teaching about Gil, and the author's own encounters with the album around the world, this book argues that \u003ci\u003eRefazenda\u003c\/i\u003e does, in fact, contain radical messages, though they rarely appear in the form, shape, or places that we might expect. The book also includes the first English-language translations of the album's lyrics, never-discussed-before 1970s Japanese liner notes, and a recounting of a forgotten moment when censors detained Gil during the album's debut tour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e33 1\/3 Global\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, a series related to but independent from \u003cb\u003e33 1\/3\u003c\/b\u003e, takes the format of the original series of short, music-basedbooks and brings the focus to music throughout the world.
