Dois Amigos, Um Século de Música: Multishow Live is a live two-disc recording from Veloso and Gil, released last week on Nonesuch in North America. This historic reunion celebrates a lifelong friendship over the half-century careers of two artists that have broken cultural, social, and political barriers through music. Dois Amigos, Um Século de Música: Multishow Live was recorded for television during a concert in Brazil last year, in the midst of the Dois Amigos tour. Gil and Veloso have, to date, performed for more than 135,000 fans at 44 sold-out concerts in 21 countries and 35 cities since beginning their tour last June in Amsterdam. Their US tour continues with concert at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland tonight and two shows each in Miami and Brooklyn; for details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Akinmusire says, “In many respects this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept." The opening track, “muffled screams,” is out now.
