Background notes
Archive material and source history
Fernando Augusto Raul Gil, known as Raul Gil, was born in São Paulo in 1938. He started performing at local festivals early on, and his 1963 song 'Se Você Pensa' became a chart success. That track helped establish him in Brazilian music during a period when artists were exploring different sounds.
Gil worked with several notable Brazilian musicians, including Elis Regina and Roberto Carlos. His recordings sometimes moved between bossa nova, samba, and MPB, with occasional touches of other styles. Among his songs, 'Ainda te Quero' from 1967 became particularly well-known as a ballad.
His career included some criticism from parts of the music establishment, though the specifics of those disagreements aren't well documented in most accounts. He kept recording through various phases of Brazilian popular music.
