The Brazilian-born Gilberto Gil and the Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley became superstars thanks to their passionate and political songs. One of the most requested tunes in Gil's career is his rendition of Marley's "No Woman, No Cry," and in 1984, Gil recorded with Marley's group, the Wailers. So the samba-reggae mix of this thrilling and throbbing tribute to Marley was not hard for him to pull off. Recorded in the legendary Tuff Gong studio in Kingston, Gil's silken, Portuguese/English vocals beautifully translate Marley's message music, with a little help from the Wailers, Marley's backup singers, the I-Threes, the drum-bass duo of Sly and Robbie on "Could You Be Loved," and the Brazilian group Paralamas do Sucesso. Gil puts his bouncy, Bahian stamp on these timeless roots riddims, from the Rastafied title track to the forró-fueled rendition of "Three Little Birds" and the little-heard "Lick Samba." What Gil produces on this dancing and dynamic disk is a transcultural shout-out to his brilliant contemporary, powered by One Love, which reaches from Trenchtown to Salvador. --Eugene Holley Jr.
