Your gal costa stuff...

Caetano veloso, Caetano veloso 1967 also would be nice (but i'm gonna get one of my own)
Has:
Tropicalia

I already blew a small fortune getting vinyls of these.

does dusty groove still have that gal costa box set?

there was a gal costa-specific box set, but i forget the name. dusty groove no longer carries it, it turns out.

import from brasil. AMATEURIST, the record reffered to is a portrait gal costa with pink and gray tones, almost like a rudimentary patrick nagel piece.

Quis dizer: Is the record you have (amateur!!st) in stereo, and for sale?

And it was the box set that i wanted to know the origen of, since there isn't an n(tilde) in portuguese...
Glad i found this place, by the way.

Are you talking about Africa Brasil? I love that. Hey I think most of these are available on CD, aren't they? Somebody (maybe Amateurist?) once posted the web address of a brazil music site that sold all this stuff, if I'm not mistaken. It was in regards to that colossal Nara Leao box (also essential!). Am I remembering this correctly?

I've bought a few things from them. Gal Costa had two self-titled 1969 albums--the one with her in the boa inside is the second one. If the first one, w/Nao identificado, is indeed out of print, I coud put it in my soulseek share.

Good info over at www.slipcue.com

Is the box-set the low quality kind?

AFAIK everything in the Tropicalia box is properly mastered, including "feather boa" GC.

BTW, does everyone know about this amazing site:

(nono) my name is dderuntz on soulseek. I clicked on psybrazil, so i should be in there.

found a weird uruguayan pressing of her 75 album Gal Canta Caymmi. really beautiful samba soul. super funky and upbeat. i guess it's all covers of Dorival Caymmi's work. anyone know much about him?

this album kinda rules:

I guess he was fairly old by that point ... his voice sounds finely aged in oak barrels. stately. but the backing is rad native brazilian drums stylings.

he's an OG MPB influencer/originator, if i remember correctly worked a lot with joao + jobim.. have been trying not to spend $50 on "caymmi visita jobim" via dustygroove, but it may be worth it.. dori is his son, has other famous MPB spawn as well but can't recall names

the sweet voice of the young gal costa is one of the most beautiful things ever. some of those songs on her first record send me into some other, better world.....

Dusty Groove have reissued the 1969 Cinema Olympia album.

awesome. everybody digs on the other s/t but this one's my preference.

it's pretty intense

Wow, I love Tuareg off the (Soul Jazz Records) Tropicalia album.

Domingo - by Gal Costa and Caetano Veloso - is unbelievably lovely.

awesome. everybody digs on the other s/t but this one's my preference.

cinema olympia is absolutely the better of the two!

Woohoo!

listened to gal over teh weekend... I haven't heard everything she's ever done but it's hard to imagine it ever got better than this. the wildest, grungiest record tropicalia ever produced. first side is freaky but the second side sounds like firedemons screwing in the dirt.

MEH NOM EEEEE GAAAUUUUUUUUUUUU

I'm asssuming the dusty groove reissue will take the edge off those $250 price tags on amazon

Just bought Gal (1969) from Sounds of the Universe in London. A few too many psychedlic indulgences for my taste, but still great. What a voice, fuck.

(1975) Gal Costa - Modinha Para Gabriela

Her 2006 Live at the Blue Note is nice but sorta conventional--small group doing bossa style Jobim songs plus "I Fall in Love Too Easily" (Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn song).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoVfYsCqLQY

This song kills me.

never saw this footage before (maybe from a tv special?)

According to IMDB, it's a stand-alone short film; the director, Antonio Carlos da Fontoura, made a short film with/about Os Mutantes the same year. I've always been curious about the relation between the Tropicália musicians and the Cinema Novo filmmakers, but I imagine information is hard to come by if you don't speak Portuguese.
Those visuals and her whole demeanour were a lot more introvert than I expected from just listening to the record; I guess it's balanced by the outgoing live performance.

Both of those short films are really great to see, but also...

That Os Mutantes one clearly shows them (in some of the clips) at Disneyland in the late 60s - I had no idea they visited the U.S. at all in their earlier years?? According to this blog they stopped through on the way back from Europe in Feb/March 1969: https://mutanteslive.wordpress.com/2014/08/23/o-planeta-dos-mutantes/

Fontoura's feature debut, Copacabana Me Engana, opens with Gal's version of Baby (and also has Mutantes and Gilberto Gil on the soundtrack)(no subtitles, unfortunately).

Interesting re the movie.

Haven't listened to her a lot but doing so now.

lol sophie charlotte is a pretty bad pick for the role... so many others actress to choose.

gal is great and still going - her last album from 2021 is nice, the 2011 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recanto - is amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RrDAI7tFzU and this keeps me going when I miss the homeland

Will check out the 2011 one. Went to your homeland once — to carnival in Rio and Bahia / Salvador and had an amazing time.

I love this thread title. It suggests that we all have Gal Costa stuff, not just records but also t-shirts, commemorative stamps, Gal Costa choose your own adventure books.

best live record ever

oh no dammit

She was so great.

What a voice. RIP

There were a good few years where her records would be a part of the morning rotation, her work is part of my mind now. Would highly recommend checking out this whole live show of her and som imaginario on youtube, but this one performance really captures something that doesn't really get captured often

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMEYXZ4b2hI

Was listening to her this weekend — Gal Canta Caymmi is really sweet. RIP.

cosign the love for the A Todo Vapor live album, a massive classic for me. rip legend.

RIP, a voice like a ray of sunshine

gil and caetano talking about her. caetano sings (one of the many) songs she wrote for her... too much.

she was awesome.

thank you fpsa for that Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil link. i didn't need to be able to understand them to be moved.

RIP gal. an immense lost. her voice was unmistakable and one of my favorite sounds.
