Gal Costa "Gal" (Philips, 1969)  
(Produced by Manuel Barenbein; Arranged by Rogerio Duprat)
A heavily rock-flavored, psychedelic album, with a hefty dose of Philly soul thrown in on top. Lots of Summer of Love-y San Fran-sound electric guitars and powerful percussion. Sometimes Gal is wailing crazily, other times she's singing sweet as honey -- this is definitely one of her best, most experimental albums, and one of the most sizzling and crazed of the tropicalia-era psychedelic rock records. Gal Costa, best known as a swanky ballad singer, was a true wild child for a few years there when the whole tropicalia scene was new. This was her second album, with Gal belting out snarling vocals amid grinding, aggressive electric guitars and pounding, hard percussion. Her creative cohorts, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, chime in as songwriters and harmonists (appearing on a version of Jorge Ben's "Pais Tropical") while the tropicalia scene's celebrated avant arranger Rogerio Duprat puts his stamp on the album, particularly on the impressive proto-world music anthem, "Tuareg," which he amplifies with Arabic instruments and varied textures and sound dynamics. This is not the easiest or mellowest Gal Costa album to groove out on, but it is a striking historical document, and one of the more notable and coherent Brazilian psychedelic relics of the late-1960s/early '70s era. Worth checking out!
