Gal Costa

Gal Costa is a female Brazilian solo singer of modern music. She is a singer that defies the times she lives in. She is classy and unique! Although she sings popular music, the way she goes about it is what separates her from her contemporaries. She is graceful and has a deep voice that is expressive and rich in tone. She has been performing since the 60’s and has become more polished with time. Her mother listened to classical music when she was pregnant with Gal in hopes that she would love music. I guess it worked! This early music experience set Gal on her way to become one of the most revered Brazilian singers in history.Going to a live show is an experience you won’t soon forget. She usually plays in classy theater style venues that mirrors the class that she, herself, exudes. She usually starts of the show very calmly and this serenity lasts throughout the show. Her audience is very refined as they listen to her sing in her native Portuguese. There isn’t much showiness and Gal is usually dressed in a black dress. She will have many instruments with her on stage that ranges from piano to string instruments. She is not to be missed!

Although Gal Costa made her break back in the mid 60s, she’s still going strong, producing great records, and touring with her huge back catalogue of material. Her distinctive Brazilian pop rock is incredibly accessible to a wide variety of audiences, and at the recent show, her audience were diverse and dedicated. Although her early work began in quite an alternative manner when she embraced the Tropicalismo movement.

She opened the recent show with the title track from Legal, and immediately blew everyone away with the power that her voice still maintains at nearly 70 years old. She was super confident, which went a really long way, and no one in the audience seemed even slightly concerned that her performance wouldn’t live up to expectations of years gone by.

Costa played a great selection of tracks from over the years, I was wondering how she was going to pick a set list from such a large back catalogue of tracks, but she got it spot on. She played all of the hits such as Divino Maravilhoso, and Boom Dia, as well as a few of the lesser known tracks, which really captivated the audience.

Surreal, me senti como criança encantada por uma fada... Os poucos minutos de espera entre: entrar, encontrar o assento e aguardar que todos se acomodassem no local do evento pareciam eternos... Mas quando as cortinas se abriram e Gal entrou com força total pensei "É isso!!! Ai meu Deus, está acontecendo!!!" - o coração disparou e continuou embalado pelo ritmo de cada canção entoada por essa divina voz... Um problema técnico no som fez ela dá uma pausa e enquanto tudo se ajustava, ela conversava, sorria, contou até uma piada, que admitiu ser sem graça, mas tudo rolava assim, bem simples como se estivéssemos na sala de casa, batendo um papo... Cantei todas as músicas que estavam na ponta da língua, apaixonada, hipnotizada, curtindo cada segundo. Este show valeu, vale e valerá muito a pena, acredite, é uma experiencia única... Tentei aguardar para quem sabe pegar um autografo, talvez tirar uma foto, ou apenas conseguir um abraço, mas infelizmente não foi possível... #AguardandoUmaProxima #Divina&Maravilhosa #GalEstratosferica #EmSPEuFui

To watch Gal Costa's shows is always an unforgetable experience. She represents the entire story of brazilian music, and is one of its best symbols.

Adorei o show. Cheio de energia. Músicas lindas, algumas nostálgicas. Ouvir London, London novamente, quase me fez chorar. Ambiente histórico maravilhoso e muito bem organizado. Platéia impecável. Adorei rever a Gal. Fantástica!

What an amazing concert! Gal, Gil and Nando were really able to put together and complete themselves with showing how beautiful is the MPB.
It really worth going to their concert.
