Expresso 2222

Expresso 2222 is the fifth studio album by Brazilian artist Gilberto Gil, released in June 1972 by Philips Records (currently Universal Music). In October 2007, the magazine Rolling Stone's Brazilian edition published a list of the 100 Greatest Albums of Brazilian Music, in which Expresso 2222 featured at number 26.

The album name is a homage to a train that Gil used to take to head out of his native town in the direction of Salvador, Bahia. The album marks the return of Gil to Brazil after a three-year exile in London.
