For Fans Of
A lot changed between Gal Costa's pleasantly straightforward 1967 debut Domingo and her eponymous follow-up two years later. Domingo, also a debut for young songwriter Caetano Veloso, offered airy, fairly standard bossa nova sung ably by Costa. Within months, though, Costa and Veloso found themselves alongside Os Mutantes, Tom Zé, and Gilberto Gil recording Tropicália: Ou Panis et Circencis, the unofficial manifesto of the Tropicalismo movement, diving headfirst into avant-garde experimentalism, psychedelia, and politically charged dissent against Brazil's military dictatorship. Costa's self-titled Tropicalismo debut is cut from the same cloth, opening with a flutter of psychedelic echo that dissolves into lush strings and lighthearted organ on "Nao Identificado," easing the listener into her velvety voice and a bold new sound.
