Gal Costa
Baby Gal
Philips (Brazil) 1983
814 854-1 (LP) Original pressing. w/original inner sleeve.
sleeve : VG+(SRW, wear on edge and corner.)
media : VG+/VG+(some light noise caused by slightly scratches. from B1 to B3 has some light wear that does not affect to sounds.)
An album released in 1983 by Gal Costa, the iconic Bahian singer who helped shape the Tropicália movement alongside Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Maria Bethânia. Songs are contributed by an all-star roster including Chico Buarque, Djavan, Caetano Veloso, Tunai, and Moraes Moreira, with arrangements largely handled by César Camargo Mariano. Highlights include the irresistibly breezy A2, where a city-pop sound reminiscent of Tatsuro Yamashita meets Gal’s mellow, tropical vocals, and the light, uplifting A3, driven by the contrast between wet electric piano and keyboard melodies and gently swinging samba percussion. With outstanding songs, arrangements, and recording throughout, this is a disco-tropicalia masterpiece packed with feel-good tracks that lock perfectly into a groove that still feels right on time today. Original Brazilian pressing, locally sourced.
A2: Sutis Diferencas
A3: Bahia de Todas as Contas
