Gal Costa - ÍNDIA LP

With 1973’s Índia, the samba singer Gal Costa cemented her status as one of Brazil’s biggest and most defiant stars, collaborating with Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil in the process. - Pitchfork

 

A post-Tropicalia masterpiece from one of the movement's key figures and true legends of Brazilian music, Gal Costa. Features a stellar line-up of musicians, including Gilberto Gil, Arthur Verocai, Dominguinhos, Rogério Duprat and Tenorio Jr. amongst others.

 

Replica of the original gatefold, including the cover that was banned by the Brazilian military government in 1973 during the brutal dictatorship.

 

Índia includes the incredible ’Pontos De Luz’ as sampled by Kaytranada on ’Lite Spots’ – one of our favourite Brazilian songs of all time. A wonderful album from start to finish, touching on MPB, folk, jazz, funk and rock with strong Tropicalia and Nordestino influences throughout.
