OffStereo builds narrated music history shows around real records. Gilberto Gil runs through 5 of them, 1 that take them as the subject and 4 more where they surface inside someone else's story. They appear most often alongside Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes and Gal Costa.
Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Os Mutantes fuse Brazilian rhythms with rock and pop, creating Tropicalia's defiant sound that challenges a regime and reshapes music from 1967 to 1972.
