    One of Gal Costa’s hits was a song called “Meu Nome é Gal” (“My name is Gal”), in which she literally duels with her guitar player to see who can reach the highest note, but in a playful and not snobbish way. It’s pretty awesome. She was definitely one of Brazil’s top singers.

    Interesting fact about Gal: when she was a child, she didn't had access to formal musical education, but she already knew she wanted to sing, so she would stuck her head inside big pans from her mother's kitchen to sing in and listen to her own voice, so she could experiment with her voice and breathing. It's not surprising she grew to have such an amazing vocal control.

    You chose one of the greatest and well known performances by Gal Costa. She was never afraid of taking risks, although this was already a very well known song, but she gave it the best rendition. She started out in the mid 60s, took part in all the important movements of Brazilian music since then because she wanted to explore, to experiment the new and brake barriers. My heart is still reeling from her premature death. Thank you!

    In 2:52 the reason this nasal sounds so good it's because it belongs to her accent. The particular accent of her region at that time in Brasil. So it's automatic for her to sound like that, it's not a sound that she is "trying out" or that "went wrong". It's the sound of muscle memory with a solid background, it's ingrained in her pronunciation.

    What a nice surprise to find you reacting to Gal. I discovered Brasilian music through her and fell in love with Brasil, back in '83 and I still am. To me she is the best singer in not just Brasil, but anywhere. She has the most amazing range, not only musically, but in volume, from very soft to full blast, as you heard here. And yes, she always tells a story and feels it, she's not just a singer. Glad that you finally found Gal ; your life has just changed for the better and will become richer and richer if you keep listening to her. Try the albums "Gal Canta Caymmi", "Aquarela do Brazil", "Gal Tropical" . RIP Gal, I love you . (If you want an idea of her note range, listen to her song "INDIA". It'll blow your mind) .

      It's the time, it's the foot
      And it's the ground
      I saw many men fighting, heard their screams
      I was at the bottom of every hidden will
      And the most certain thing of all things
      It's not worth a path under the sun

    Gal Costa got me into bossa, muzak, folk, disco, funk, classic rock, world music and jazz. Im indebted to her music career. I was originally used to more metal, house, filter house, dnb, experimental, breakcore, stuff but my dad would always tell me me about a bunch of jazz and bossa artists (which id always ignore cause me in my angst, I thought my dad was out of touch😅). A few years ago my dad passed away and I decided to listen to his old record collection. Gal Costa’s self titled album was up first and the song “Namorinho de Portao”’s weird opening BLEW ME AWAY. I fell in love with nearly every Gal Costa song and my dad’s other records, and man I wish my dad still was alive because I really want to tell him im sorry for bashing my Dad’s music taste cause his taste was AMAZING. But yeah Gal Costa’s music gave me a chance to enthusiastically connect with my dad musically beyond his death and she was just such a talent. Much love to lady Costa and her family after her passing because she was truly loved by many people outside of Brazil in the world including myself.

His joy upon listening was absolutely infectious. Keep connecting with your father! My guess is that he doesn’t want or need an apology.

      Como chilena que vive en Brasil, no diría que se cerraron... Caetano Veloso, p.ej., es conocido mundialmente, Chico Buarque (quién no sabe cantar "La banda"). Mercedes Sosa, Bella Vista Social Club y otros artistas de latam son conocidos aquí.
      Yo diría que el problema mayor es la lengua, ya que los artistas brasileños que cantan/canraron en español se hicieron famosos (Roberto Carlos, p.ej).
      Nosotros latam escuchamos inglés sin problemas, pero nos cerramos a otros idiomas, infelizmente. (Aunque ahora, con BTS, escuchamos coreano también).

    You should also check out Maria Bethânia. She’s known for her lower tone and very theatrical performance in which she weaves songs, poetry readings and spoken word segments. Back in the 70’s she was part of a band called “Doces Bárbaros”, along with Caetano Veloso (her brother), Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa herself.

    It's amazing how Betânia, Caetano, Djavan, Gal, Elis, amongst others, are so synaesthetic in their singing, in their song interpretations. Even though people that don't understand any word of Portuguese can grasp all the emotion impregnated in the song.
    They were truly artists in touch with their inner selves. That's why their masterpieces crossed generations and still make people emotional no matter their age.

    Força Estranha
    Eu vi um menino correndo
    eu vi o tempo brincando ao redor
    do caminho daquele menino,
    eu pus os meus pés no riacho.
    E acho que nunca os tirei.
    O sol ainda brilha na estrada que eu nunca passei.
    Eu vi a mulher preparando outra pessoa
    O tempo parou pra eu olhar para aquela barriga.
    A vida é amiga da arte
    É a parte que o sol me ensinou.
    O sol que atravessa essa estrada que nunca passou.
    Por isso uma força me leva a cantar,
    por isso essa força estranha no ar.
    Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar.
    Por isso essa voz tamanha.
    Eu vi muitos cabelos brancos na fronte do artista
    o tempo não pára no entanto ele nunca envelhece.
    Aquele que conhece o jogo do fogo das coisas que são.
    É o sol, é o tempo, é a estrada, é o pé e é o chão.
    Eu vi muitos homens brigando. Ouvi seus gritos
    Estive no fundo de cada vontade encoberta,
    e a coisa mais certa de todas as coisas.
    Não vale um caminho sob o sol.
    E o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol.
    Por isso uma força me leva a cantar,
    por isso essa força estranha no ar.
    Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar.
    Por isso essa voz tamanha.
    Por isso uma força me leva a cantar,
    por isso essa força estranha no ar.
    Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar.

      Strange Force - Força Estranha roughly translated to english
      I saw a boy running
      I saw time playing
      surrounding the trail of that boy
      I placed my feet in the brook.
      And I think I've never taken them out.
      The sun still shines on the road that I never took.
      I saw a woman preparing another person
      Time stopped so I could look at that belly.
      Life has a friendship with art.
      It's a part I was taught by the sun.
      The sun still travels this road that is neverending.
      From this comes a force takes me to sing
      From this a strange force in the air
      From this I sing, I cannot stop
      From this a voice tremendous
      I saw many white hairs on an artists brow
      Time doesn't stop although he doesn't age
      He who know the games, the fire of things that are
      It's the sun, it's the time, its the road, its the foot, its the ground.
      From this comes a force takes me to sing
      From this a strange force in the air
      From this I sing, I cannot stop
      From this a voice tremendous

But my suggestion is that you look for the translation, because it is beautiful!! In summary, she talks about the moments and events of human everyday life that give her strength and inspiration to sing and it is because of all that that she has this giant voice.
    I am sure that after you read the translation you will be even more delighted. Big kiss.

    @NaveGristle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    It only adds to the miracle of Gal's voice learning she was not formally trained. She learned to sing by herself. One of the most remarkable events of the beginning of her life as a singer is her childhood and early adolescence, when she would place a pot over her head and experiment with resonance and the simple production of voice. From that she went to working in a record store, where she'd listen to bossa nova and anything she could get her hands and ears on. It shaped her voice and would make her one of the greatest representatives of MPB, one of the few to stay in Brazil when her friends and mentors had been exhiled due to political persecution. Gal is a born star who combines voice and soul and sheer determination.

    Hey, Beth! The nasal sound is due to the Portuguese language! Whenever you have a vowel followed by a "m" or "n" also a vowel after m or n, the "~" sign over it and "nh" you are going to have a nasal sound like in the word "taMaNHa" you have twice the nasal sound. This sound doesn't exist in English and in Italian either so I see sometimes it's hard to get it! 👍
