AcĂșstico MTV: Gal Costa
Synopsis
AcĂșstico MTV spans Gal Costa's career very thoroughly. What is very different here is the presentation of the material. Backed up by a lush orchestra (the PetrobrĂĄs PrĂł MĂșsica Orchestra), some of Gal's old hits have a beautiful new sound. Even some of her early songs, such as "Baby" and "NĂŁo Identificado," are more subdued. As a whole, the CD does show a more mature and secure performer. As added bonuses, Gal invites a few guests to sing with her. Having introduced Luiz Melodia to Brazil, Gal brings him back in "PĂ©rola Negra," one great moment in the CD. Continuing the list of guests, Gal then introduces a new name in 1997: Zeca Baleiro. Their duet in "A Flor da Pele" is hauntingly beautiful and the most beautiful track in AcĂșstico MTV. Targeting the younger MTV crowd, two names from Brazilian rock lend their voices in two additional duets.
