(from dusty groove)
One of the most mindblowing albums ever recorded -- anywhere, anytime! This 1969 set stands as one of the greatest records ever cut by Gal Costa -- done at the height of the Tropicalia movement, and featuring a sublime mix of styles that really gets the spirit of the movement right. Arrangements are by the legendary Rogerio Duprat -- who effortlessly shifts the backings between stark electronics, sweet bossa, gliding strings, jazzy piano, and baroque orchestrations that dance around with a surprising amount of grooves! Tunes include some classics by Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, and Gilberto Gil -- served up in amazing new versions by Gal and Duprat! Titles include "Nao Identificado", "Lost in the Paradise", "Que Pena", "Sebastiana", "Namorinho De Portao", "Divino Maravilhoso", and "Deus E O Amor".

Thanks so much! Sounds great! Curiously, half of these songs are stereo, half are mono. I've downloaded this album from two other sources - each time it's different! Hard to come by, nonetheless. I first heard it in 1969 - a classic!

Interesting comment. Alot of the music from late 60s was like that - I think the studio engineers were just starting to experiment with the mono/stereo environment and this was one of those experiments. Super great album nonetheless. thanks for the comment!
