Preta Gil Disclosure The death of singer and businesswoman Preta Gil turns one year old this Monday (20). The date marks the launch of two audiovisual projects that tell the artist's story: the documentary "Preta - Eu Não Ando Só" and the series "Meu Nome É Preta". Preta Gil died at the age of 50, in New York. The artist suffered complications from bowel cancer and was in the United States undergoing experimental treatment against the disease, which she had been treating since January 2023. Daughter of Gilberto Gil, niece of Caetano Veloso and goddaughter of Gal Costa, Preta Gil left her career as a producer and publicist and decided to become a singer at the age of 29. "Preta - Eu Não Ando Só" Excerpt from the documentary 'Preta - Eu Não Ando Só' Divulgação/TV Globo Airing on TV Globo after "Quem Ama Cuida", the documentary "Preta - Eu Não Ando Só" will show intimate images of the last years of the singer's life, captured by cell phones of people who were by her side. Names such as Carolina Dieckmann, Ivete Sangalo, Regina Casé, Gominho, Ana Carolina, as well as family members such as Francisco Gil, Sol de Maria and Gilberto Gil, will participate in the project. In a short excerpt from the previously released documentary, Gilberto Gil cried when talking about his daughter's absence. "When she died, when she had to leave... The world said: 'Wow. My girl left. I miss her so much", he said. "Meu Nome É Preta" Series 'Meu Nome É Preta' Disclosure Also scheduled to premiere on Monday (20) on Globoplay, the documentary series "Meu Nome É Preta" will divide the artist's story into four episodes. Directed by Mini Kerti, its first chapter will be open even to non-subscribers to the streaming platform. The narrative will use historical records of Preta Gil's childhood in Bahia and media archives from the 2000s. The singer herself will guide the production as narrator through recovered interviews that range from her birth to her performance at Carnival. The series will be available on Globoplay weekly on Mondays. The exception will be the fourth and final episode, which will arrive in the catalog on Saturday, August 8th, the artist's birthday. "We made a cut that narrates his life based on the remarkable events that changed his course", describes director Mini Kerti. "The series shows that Preta Gil was never afraid to reveal her essence to the world."
