“Gal Costa’s melting, sensuous voice has been a Brazilian pop archetype since she was the muse and advocate of the Tropicália movement.” (The New York Times) The great female vocalist Gal Costa makes her area debut as part of UMS’s ongoing exploration of the superstars of Brazilian music, which has brought Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Milton Nascimento to Ann Arbor in recent years. Costa’s professional career was launched in 1964 when she performed alongside Veloso, Gil, Maria Bethânia, and Tom Zé on the concert Nós, por exemplo, which opened a new theater in Salvador, Bahia. An essential force in the Tropicália movement, she had two early nationwide hits, “Baby” and “Divino, Maravilhoso,” both of which appeared on her self-titled solo debut album, now considered a Tropicalismo classic. For many years, Costa has been interested in interpreting the beautiful music of Antônio Carlos Jobim and American jazz standards. She is joined in this evening of duets by the impeccable guitarist and Rio de Janeiro native Romero Lubambo.
