Gil started to play music as a child and was still a teenager when he joined his first band. He began his career as a
bossa nova musician, and then grew to write songs that reflected a focus on political awareness and social activism. He was a key figure in the
Música Popular Brasileira and
tropicália movements of the 1960s, alongside artists such as longtime collaborator
Caetano Veloso. The
Brazilian military regime that
took power in 1964 saw both Gil and Veloso as a threat, and the two were held for nine months in 1969 before they were told to leave the country. Gil moved to London, but returned to state of
Bahia in 1972 and continued his musical career, as well as working as a politician and environmental advocate.
Simplemente Lo Mejor was made available one month after the release of Arjona's eleventh studio album, 5to Piso (2008). This led to speculation that the labels were in a fight to win Arjona's fanbase and sales. Simplemente Lo Mejor reached number seven on the Mexican Albums Chart, the US Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart and number 33 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. It was awarded platinum certifications in Argentina and Mexico.
