Brazuca Sounds #40: Gal Costa | Five Best Albums Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

In episode #40 we celebrate the life of Gal Costa by discussing her five best records: Gal Costa (1969), Gal (1969), Índia (1973), Cantar (1974) and Gal Tropical (1979). As an early bossa-nova singer moving from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro, Gal reached her golden era as part of the Tropicalia, a psychedelic-rock counter-culture movement in the late 1960s. In the 1970s Gal Costa explored different genres and styles expanding her boundaries in the experimental "Índia" and the back-to-bossa-nova album, "Cantar", a commercial failure. I will finish this episode off by also revisiting two former episodes, Episode #24 where I explored Gal Costa's live album "FA-TAL (1971)", and Episode #2 where we discussed her connections to the orishas and Bahia. Gal Costa passed away on November 9 at the age of 77.
