"Gal" by Gal Costa (1969)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Gal Costa "Gal"  1969 (Brazil)
Gal Costa (born Maria da Graça Costa Penna Burgos) is one of the top singers from the groovy Brazilian music scene of the late 1960's. She still has an active career, in fact she released a new album in 2021 at age 76! Costa debuted in the mid-sixties and appeared on a landmark 1968 compilation album called Tropicália: ou Panis et Circencis which featured her along with a who's-who of the leading Brazilian psychedelic (or "Tropicalia") artists, namely Tom Ze, Jorge Ben, Caetano Veloso and Os Mutantes. Her second full-length solo album Gal is one of the most out-there experimental pop albums of the entire 1960's decade, sounding like a bossa nova mash-up of Barbra Streisand (soaring vocals) and Jimi Hendrix (everything swimming in a sea of fuzz guitar).
Also on the show this week, new underground rock from Japan: psych-punk power trio 88-Kasyo Junrei has a new album coming out later this month and art-punk poetry-rapper Haru Nemuri keeps releasing singles (and music videos).
