#PelaInternet (Through the Internet), as the name implies, is a song that talks about how the Internet was shaping the world in the 1990s, with a callback to "Pelo Telefone", a samba from the 1910s that did the same with the telephone

in 1996, with the #Quanta lead single (the album is a masterpiece; great lyrics dealing with science themes, #Grammy winner), #GilbertoGil became the first Brazilian artist to release a song in a livestream (yes, 1996!)

with #Brazil going to the round of 16 this #WorldCup, I think it's fair to do my #MusicMonday to talk about one of my fave #MPB singers: #GilbertoGil 🇧🇷

sadly, this comes after Gil was attacked by Bolsonaro supporters at Brazil's match last Thu

but that's so insignificant when compared to what he's done for Brazilian culture (even being Minister of Culture for now-again president Lula, back when it existed)

anyway, I pick #PelaInternet, a hit that shows how forward-thinking he is...
