Gal Costa

180 GRAM VINYL LP

This rare and sought-after album features the brilliant Middle-Eastern influenced track 'Tuareg'! This is a landmark piece of Brazilian psychedelic rock experimentalism and is awash with Hendrix-style fuzz guitars, funky drumming, unusual orchestrations and weird sound effects!

This is easily the most tripped-out of Gal Costa's albums and represents a high point of the Tropicalia movement - indeed, this album features contributions from Rogerio DuPrat, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, and Giberto Gil, and is awash with the political power and cultural experimentalism that marked Tropicalia's brief flowering. Very highly recommended!
