Gal Costa was a Brazilian singer of popular music. She was born on September 26, 1945 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and passed away on November 9, 2022. Gal began her musical journey at a young age, immersing herself in classical music during her mother's pregnancy. She developed a passion for Bossa Nova and pursued her love for music by working at a record store. Gal made her professional debut alongside renowned artists such as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso. Throughout her career, she released numerous albums and became known for her unique blend of Brazilian stylizations and North American psychedelic influences.
Gal Costa's first album "Domingo" was released in 1967 and featured the hit song "Coração Vagabundo". She gained further recognition with her participation in the Tropicalismo movement, recording songs that became classics of Brazilian popular music. Her eponymous solo debut album in 1969 solidified her status as an influential artist within the Tropicalismo genre.
In addition to singing songs composed by well-known Brazilian songwriters such as Tom Jobim and Erasmo Carlos, Gal Costa achieved great success with the single "Festa Do Interior" from the album "Fantasia". This multi-platinum hit propelled her career to new heights.

Without question, Gal Gosta is one of the all-time greats. An inspirational, iconic figurehead in Brazilian music, her outstanding career ran from 1967 up until 2022 when we sadly lost her. Making her mark initially as one of the principal figures in the Tropicália movement of the 60s, she remained a trailblazing beacon that lit the way for decades to come.'India' is a post-Tropicália masterpiece that was originally released in 1973 on the Philips record label. It features a stellar line-up of musicians including Gilberto Gil, Arthur Verocai, Dominguinhos, Rogério Duprat and Tenorio Jr. Amongst others. For it's 50th anniversary, we knew we had to do something special, so we enlisted the sensational mastering and lacquer-cutting engineer Miles Showell from Abbey Road to cut a half-speed master for a beautiful spacious sound. The album is housed in it's original replica gatefold cover with an OBI. There is also an insert with an interview, and an A2 poster exclusive to this release.
