Remember: this was recorded in 1984, live, not much technology to help her…

Two wonderful women, Gal Costa and Maria Bethânia, born in the same Brazilian state and friends since the 70s; Then they sang together. I like them both a lot. I don't know if you know Maria Bethânia? Today she is 76 years old.

[SALBERTOMANAUS]

Oh, dear Beth! You should really learn about the lyrics too. Then you’ll realize how this work sounds even more intense. Gal was a real force of nature, such a smooth roar of a lioness! Brasil thanks for your perfect words about this singing and its emotional touch, love u Beth!

[gpeddino]

One of Gal Costa’s hits was a song called “Meu Nome é Gal” (“My name is Gal”), in which she literally duels with her guitar player to see who can reach the highest note, but in a playful and not snobbish way. It’s pretty awesome. She was definitely one of Brazil’s top singers.

[Hyriudragon]

Gal's accent from Bahia, a state of Brazil, makes her voice, her style of singing even more beatiful

[glauberramos]

Quem gostaria de ver a Beth reagindo a Milton Nascimento e Maria Bethânia deixa seu like aqui😁

[tiagoversion]

These nasal sounds are actually from the language of Brazil. That's why they look so good, because they are very natural.

[FeeGrilo]

Força Estranha was written by Caetano Veloso, talks about the passage of time, the contemplation of life and the power that lead her to sing, the power that leads singers to sing, it's a real brazilian classic, I loved to see you show this amazing music here.

[reklavier]

If you could read the lyrics you would probably cry because she's basically explaining why she sings and she tells that comes from a "strange force/power" (força estranha) that drive her to use her voice. RIP Gal. 💔

[Peuonthezone]

Interesting fact about Gal: when she was a child, she didn't had access to formal musical education, but she already knew she wanted to sing, so she would stuck her head inside big pans from her mother's kitchen to sing in and listen to her own voice, so she could experiment with her voice and breathing. It's not surprising she grew to have such an amazing vocal control.

[themroc]

There is an old black and white video of a young Gal Costa singing "trem das onze" where she sings and plays the guitar during the dictatorship, and the crowd starts singing in unison, so she starts scatting and harmonizing with them, encouraging them, and they sing louder and louder, and it's one of the most moving things in the whole world, I cry every single time.

[thaisshaktiamoroso]

Take a look at the translation of thoses lyrics. You will understand how big her voice were, she is speaking about that. That she cannot stop singging because there is a force that makes her sing! 😍

[mariaeugenia]

In 2:52 the reason this nasal sounds so good it's because it belongs to her accent. The particular accent of her region at that time in Brasil. So it's automatic for her to sound like that, it's not a sound that she is "trying out" or that "went wrong". It's the sound of muscle memory with a solid background, it's ingrained in her pronunciation.

[fernandovugman]

For us, Brazilians, she was like music itself. Gal Costa was unique. There is a presentation in the beginning of her career, in which she duels with an electric guitar that you must hear. Look for "Meu nome é Gal".

[bruno.ferreira]

As a Brazilian born around the time of this video, I've been listening to Gal Costa for my entire life. That chorus never fails to give me the chills.

[juliocesarpereira]

You chose one of the greatest and well known performances by Gal Costa. She was never afraid of taking risks, although this was already a very well known song, but she gave it the best rendition. She started out in the mid 60s, took part in all the important movements of Brazilian music since then because she wanted to explore, to experiment the new and brake barriers. My heart is still reeling from her premature death. Thank you!

[RenatoTurnes]

The nasality in Gal's voice is related to the Portuguese language spoken in Brazil. For Brazilians it sounds perfectly natural. This singer's voice is part of the collective imagination of the Brazilian people and its lack causes us immense commotion.

[streamlinedman]

I'm not familiar with very many Brasilian singers, but I love Marisa Monte and I'd love to see a reaction video to one of her performances.

[wendellwiggins]

LOVE LOVE LOVE my favorite Brazilian singer for 35 years. I was blessed to see her in Los Angeles and was deeply moved entranced. The nostril sound is a trait of Brazilian singers and language.

[henkhut]

Gal Costa has become one of my all time favorite singer. There is so much good music and wonderful singers coming from Brazil. And so often poetic lyrics, it is about feeling and emotion. Thank you so much for investigating these great singers.
