Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on June 26, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Gilberto Gil! From captivating Brazil with your soulful melodies to gracefully serving as Minister of Culture, you've proven that rhythm and politics can indeed dance harmoniously. Your timeless tunes continue to inspire generations—clearly, age is just another note in your endless symphony.

Whether strumming a guitar or championing cultural diversity, you always hit the right chord. May this birthday bring you joy brighter than Carnival lights and celebrations louder than samba drums. Keep shining brightly; after all these years, you're still Brazil's favorite minister-musician combo—a true maestro both on stage and off!
