  Unión de trópicos en Jalapa con la legendaria voz de Gal Costa
Vestida toda de negro, elegante, con una sensualidad natural: bastaban unos discretos movimientos de cadera y una sonrisa para que Gal Costa arrancara suspiros a más de un hombre, en un teatro que más bien tenía ambiente de club nocturno, con una leve cortina de humo en el escenario y un sencillo juego de luces.
Gal Costa, a quien se le conoció como la salvaje diva hippie del tropicalismo, se ha ido sofisticando a lo largo de sus 40 años de trayectoria artística, ha ido incorporando distintos géneros, y ahora hay quienes creen que se inclina demasiado al pop.
La voz de Gal Costa temblaba mientras se preguntaba "¿qué haré sin ti?"; se elevaba aguda mientras exclamaba "¿dónde estás?", y al momento siguiente bajaba, en profundo dolor, "sin ti".

 E.J.N. - GAL COSTA
The first show in São Paulo, "Arena Canta Bahia", wasn't exactly a hit but who ever saw it, will never forget it: Gal still called herself "Gracinha", was quiet and thoughtful, listening most of the time and being only listened when she sang Bossa Nova standards.
Even then Gal already had the ability to turn any song immersed in prejudice, such as the wishy-washy romantic songs on the hit parades and the almost forgotten sambas by old composers, into dark jewels of unbelievable value for the cultural Brazilian soul.
Gal gave her name to the dunes of a beach in Rio.

For this concert Gal Costa is reunited with two of her bandmates from the Tropicália period, awesome guitarist Lanny Gordin, and powerful drummer Tutty Moreno, together on the same stage for the first time in 30 years.
Gal Costa came to prominence in the mid-1960s, when she became a member of the Tropicália movement alongside Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
Over the years, the traits that clearly marked her out as a Tropicálista - a willingness to experiment with musical styles ranging from psychedelic rock to bossa nova, jazz and plaintive ballards - has sustained her appeal to both critics and audiences alike.

This album marks the second turning point in Gal Costa's career since her first album "Domingo" with Caetano Veloso, a Bossa Nova album.

Being one of the most significant voices in the Tropicália movement, Gal Costa celebrated her 30th anniversary with Acústico MTV, a live recording done in July 1997 as part of the MTV Brazil acoustic concert series.
Gal, in particular, was instrumental in maintaining the idealism of Tropicália alive when Caetano Veloso was exiled in London.
She is not breaking any new ground here, but Acústico MTV proves what solid career Gal Costa has maintained throughout these years.

 Gal Costa | Live At The Blue Note
Aware that she had to be as minimalist as possible, she chose a simple backing quartet of guitar, bass, drums and saxophone.
On this album, she invited the audience to sing along with her, and many Brazilians must have been in the audience, as the voices do not simply follow the melody, but actually sing the words with her.
The album closes with “The Girl From Ipanema,” sung in English and Portuguese, and Ary Barroso’s “Brazil.” It is obvious that Costa seems to enjoy playing in a smaller venue (which she had never done before), and she gives a very relaxed performance.

A beautiful Gal Costa record that isn't as crazy as her psychedelic recordings, but it more than makes up for it with some haunting arrangements by the likes of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Joao Donato.
