4.0 out of 5 stars A Steal at These Prices!, March 6, 2004

By 

Airshifter Paul (Los Angeles, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mina D'Agua Do Meu Canto (Audio CD)

This is one of Gal's best albums of the past 10 years and a steal at circa $8.00!

I have found a lot of her more recent albums overly orchestrated, her style a self-parody of diva-ness, and her voice shrill at times. This one, however, is a refreshing change and shows why she has gained such a following over the past 35 years or so.

There is a good mix of Caetano Veloso classics ("Ciume" is the best version of this I've heard), bossa nova, and samba. A very listenable album, and highly recommended if you want "um bocadinho" (a small taste) of her range of talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars MPB - Brazilian Popular Music, June 27, 2001

This review is from: Mina D'Agua Do Meu Canto (Audio CD)

Gal Costa is one of the greatest singers in Brazil. Her voice is smooth, easy to hear. Her music is even better for those who can understand portuguese, because of the letters. But even for those who can't it still great. MPB is Brazilian Popular Music. It's very easy to listen, a calm style of music with a good swing.

This review is from: Mina D'Agua Do Meu Canto (Audio CD)

This is an absolute masterwork: the best songs by Chico de Buarque and Caetano Veloso are sung by a Gal Costa at her very best. All arrangements and orchestrations are wonderfully written and played, full of ideas, surprises, emotions. This is obviously music made the old-fashioned way (and I mean that as a great compliment) by people who know music and spent talent and quality time in their search of beauty. This is not a 5 minutes job by the last kid recycling someone else's bits, and I wish I could find more labors of love and craft such as this one.
