Gabriel o Pensador, one of Brazil's most respected hip hop lyricists/vocalists photographed by Ithaka in Portugal. © Ithaka: Photographic Art. This was a poster shoot for the Portuguese music magazine called Super Som and took place in a conference room of a hotel in Lisbon just a few hours before the first concert of his first European tour (in 1994). He had broken his leg playing soccer a few weeks previous and did all the concerts in a wheel chair. We later became great friends and even recorded a track together called, "Who's The Enemy?". It was Gabriel's first ever song recorded in English: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=X7MnTsfk2d8
