Tropicalismo Classic: Gal Costa

Gal Costa

SUNDAY: Soul sister to Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and Tom Ze, Gal Costa is a legend of Brazilian popular music, from bossa nova to psychedelia. Tom Jobim said, "Gal Costa's voice is the most perfect instrument on the planet," and who's going to argue with the "The Girl From Ipanema" guy?

See some Costa clips after the jump.

  • i was really excited to see Gal, but the show was a tad in the slow side, showcasing great music but not the real Brazilian shakes we are used to, very slow close to sleepy
