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.

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.

[@noitigrado]

Beth, these are the lyrics: STRANGE STRENGTH I saw a boy running I saw the time Playing around the path of that boy I put my feet in the creek And I think I never took them out The sun still shines on the road and I have never passed it I saw the woman preparing Another person Time stopped for me to look at that belly Life is a friend of art It's the part that the sun taught me The sun that crosses this road that I have never passed That's why a force leads me to sing That's why this strange strength That's why I sing, I can't stop That's why this immense voice I saw many gray hairs On the forehead of the artist Time doesn't stop and yet he never ages He who knows the game Of the fire of things that are It's the sun, it's the road, it's the time, it's the foot and it's the ground I saw many men fighting I heard their screams I've been at the bottom of every hidden desire And the surest thing of all things Is not worth a path under the sun And the sun on the road is the sun on the road, it's the sun That's why a force leads me to sing That's why this strange strength That's why I sing, I can't stop That's why this immense voice That's why a force leads me to sing That's why this strange strength That's why I sing, I can't stop That's why this voice, this voice, this immense voice.

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

[@themroc8231]

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.

[@rogeriofernandes138]

The refrain goes like this: "That's why a force drives me to sing; That's why this strange force. That's why I sing, and I can't stop. That's why this is such a voice." ("Por isso uma força me leva a cantar; Por isso essa força estranha. Por isso que eu canto, e não posso parar. Por isso essa voz tamanha.")

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.

[@denisesmith4593]

She was an incredible singer. Her voice was unforgettable. When she was a child she used to sing with her head in a pot to hear her own voice. Maybe that's one of the reasons her voice is so rare and clear. A constant quest for the perfect sound. Her voice and smile will never be forgotten.

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.

Life has a friendship with art. It's a part I was taught by the sun. The sun still travels this road that is neverending. From this comes a force takes me to sing From this a strange force in the air From this I sing, I cannot stop From this a voice tremendous I saw many white hairs on an artists brow Time doesn't stop although he doesn't age He who know the games, the fire of things that are It's the sun, it's the time, its the road, its the foot, its the ground.

[@NaveGristle]

It only adds to the miracle of Gal's voice learning she was not formally trained. She learned to sing by herself. One of the most remarkable events of the beginning of her life as a singer is her childhood and early adolescence, when she would place a pot over her head and experiment with resonance and the simple production of voice. From that she went to working in a record store, where she'd listen to bossa nova and anything she could get her hands and ears on. It shaped her voice and would make her one of the greatest representatives of MPB, one of the few to stay in Brazil when her friends and mentors had been exhiled due to political persecution. Gal is a born star who combines voice and soul and sheer determination.

Gal Costa canta Força Estranha, de Caetano Velloso. A letra é linda. Ela foi uma de nossas maiores cantoras. Para a maioria de nós, brasileiros, a maior foi Elis Regina. Parabéns por seu canal! Boa sorte! Brasil 🇧🇷

[@jbliborio]

I will be always thankful for showing our best singers and analyze with such kindness ... Gal was and still is one of our best singers ever... Her art will still for ever! Regards!

[@luizeverton4573]

Thank you for reacting to Brazilian singers, always with great respect. You help spread our Culture, which is so rich. We have a lot of unfailingly talented artists, and you know how to choose.

[@victoriasantana8441]

Loved your reaction! You should check the translation of this song because It's beautiful and talk about the art of singing itself! "That's why I sing..." she says; for Gal, singing it's a "strange force" as the sun, the time and life are themselves!

[@GabrielSantos-tn4fj]

Gal Costa não era simplesmente uma cantora, mas uma artista

[@MarceloMolinarideSimoni]

Beth, i'll never be able to thank you enough for these videos featuring brazilian singers... You help, through your audience, that these artists reach people that would never listen to them otherwise. And i'm a metalhead... But for this, i'm simply thankful. God bless you, i love you.

Gal Costa got me into bossa, muzak, folk, disco, funk, classic rock, world music and jazz. Im indebted to her music career. I was originally used to more metal, house, filter house, dnb, experimental, breakcore, stuff but my dad would always tell me me about a bunch of jazz and bossa artists (which id always ignore cause me in my angst, I thought my dad was out of touch😅). A few years ago my dad passed away and I decided to listen to his old record collection. Gal Costa’s self titled album was up first and the song “Namorinho de Portao”’s weird opening BLEW ME AWAY. I fell in love with nearly every Gal Costa song and my dad’s other records, and man I wish my dad still was alive because I really want to tell him im sorry for bashing my Dad’s music taste cause his taste was AMAZING. But yeah Gal Costa’s music gave me a chance to enthusiastically connect with my dad musically beyond his death and she was just such a talent. Much love to lady Costa and her family after her passing because she was truly loved by many people outside of Brazil in the world including myself.

It may well be that your father knows, in his own way, that you’re listening to these wonderful records he left for you. My father got me to listen to just about everything, and he left his records for us to enjoy. It is hard for me not to have him to talk with about music. His joy upon listening was absolutely infectious. Keep connecting with your father! My guess is that he doesn’t want or need an apology. He would be thrilled that you’re listening to and loving the music that meant so much to him!

Descanse em paz, Rainha da voz...

[@dlantigo]

The lyrics are about the force that leads her to sing and use her voice, and you can feel it even if you don’t know the lyrics. That’s the force speaking 😍

[@edydossantos]

It's amazing how Betânia, Caetano, Djavan, Gal, Elis, amongst others, are so synaesthetic in their singing, in their song interpretations. Even though people that don't understand any word of Portuguese can grasp all the emotion impregnated in the song. They were truly artists in touch with their inner selves. That's why their masterpieces crossed generations and still make people emotional no matter their age.

[@teinha4706]

Gostei das sua avaliações, parabéns pelo canal 👏👏 Gal era uma soprano baiana ❤️❤️❤️❤️ de voz aguda, meiga e natural onde ela interpretava sua verdade intensamente. Música brasileira se torna difícil cantar pelas articulações que o nosso idioma tem, achei muito interessante o comentário sobre som anasalado, realmente faz parte da nossa dicção e aparece ainda mais no sotaque baiano da Gal. Pena você a conheceu depois de seu falecimento. Tem muito material dela para pesquisar.

[@dianacb4965]

She was great, I went to see her once performed in Lima, amazing!

Adoro ver coisas do Brasil nesse canal. Me tira um leve sorriso na hora.

[@johnnytei8268]

So much Thanks for that, Gal is a Brazilian soul ♥️🇧🇷

[@fabiolemes3395]

Beth, thank you so much for celebrating our national treasure! Adding some context, she is from Bahia and that state has an accent and most singers from that state are able to reach notes that others cant. And yes: she adds a lot of soul and feelings telling the story! Music connect us all! Once more: thanks!

[@anabeatrizfructuosodavies7943]

O Estado da Bahia tem cantores incríveis. Uma delas NANA CAYMMI. Vale a pena conhecer.

[@sandrofelix3377]

Nana é carioca, e da Tijuca! Todos os filhos de Dorival são do Rio: Nana, Dori e Danilo. Nana é "Ponta de Areia", pois "da Bahia a Minas, estrada natural". Filha do baiano Dorival e da mineira Stella Maris.

Strange power Versões: #1#2 I watched a boy run freely I saw time, as it played Around the trail the boy left I put my feet into the brook And maybe, have never pulled them away from there The sun is still shining at that road I've never passed before I saw a woman produce a new person in hers Time had just stopped so I could watch that belly Life is a friend of art That's what the sun has taught me The sun, that crosses this road it has never met before For that reason, a power makes me sing For that reason, here's this strange power in the air For that reason, I sing and I will always do For that reason, there's in me a voice this grand I saw some gray hairs upon the artist's head Although time doesn't stop, it seems to never age The only ones who know how the fire of life works Is the sun, the time, the road, the feet, and the earth I saw some men quarreling. I could hear them scream I've been in the essence of each hidden wish And the truest thing of all is this: It's pointless to have a way under the sun Because the sun upon the road is just the sun upon the road, it's just the sun For that reason, a power makes me sing For that reason, here's this strange power in the air For that reason, I sing and I will always do For that reason, there's in me a voice this grand For that reason, a power makes me sing For that reason, here's this strange power in the air For that reason, I sing and I will always do For that reason, there's in me a voice this grand lyricstranslate.com

Olá Beth, boa noite. Que bela reação a uma das grandes vozes do Brasil. Infelizmente a perdemos ano passado, mas as canções que ela cantou são eternas. Se você puder, de uma chance a canção: GAL COSTA_CHUVA DE PRATA. Esta é uma música que tem tudo a ver com o dia de S. Valentim.

Força Estranha Strange power Caetano Veloso Eu vi um menino correndo I watched a boy run freely eu vi o tempo brincando ao redor I saw time, as it played do caminho daquele menino, Around the trail the boy left eu pus os meus pés no riacho. I put my feet into the brook E acho que nunca os tirei. And maybe, have never pulled them away from there O sol ainda brilha na estrada que eu nunca passei. The sun is still shining at that road I've never passed before Eu vi a mulher preparando outra pessoa I saw a woman produce a new person in hers O tempo parou pra eu olhar para aquela barriga. Time had just stopped so I could watch that belly A vida é amiga da arte Life is a friend of art É a parte que o sol me ensinou. That's what the sun has taught me O sol que atravessa essa estrada que nunca passou. The sun, that crosses this road it has never met before Por isso uma força me leva a cantar, For that reason, a power makes me sing por isso essa força estranha no ar. For that reason, here's this strange power in the air Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar. For that reason, I sing and I will always do Por isso essa voz tamanha. For that reason, there's in me a voice this grand Eu vi muitos cabelos brancos na fronte do artista I saw some gray hairs upon the artist's head o tempo não pára no entanto ele nunca envelhece. Although time doesn't stop, it seems to never age Aquele que conhece o jogo do fogo das coisas que são. The only ones who know how the fire of life works É o sol, é o tempo, é a estrada, é o pé e é o chão. Is the sun, the time, the road, the feet, and the earth Eu vi muitos homens brigando. Ouvi seus gritos I saw some men quarreling. I could hear them scream Estive no fundo de cada vontade encoberta, I've been in the essence of each hidden wish e a coisa mais certa de todas as coisas. And the truest thing of all is this: Não vale um caminho sob o sol. It's pointless to have a way under the sun E o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol sobre a estrada, é o sol. Because the sun upon the road is just the sun upon the road, it's just the sun Por isso uma força me leva a cantar, For that reason, a power makes me sing por isso essa força estranha no ar. For that reason, here's this strange power in the air Por isso é que eu canto, não posso parar. For that reason, I sing and I will always do Por isso essa voz tamanha. For that reason, there's in me a voice this grand Por isso uma força me leva a cantar, For that reason, a power makes me sing por isso essa força estranha no ar.

[@mikelistman5263]

Totally amazing you chose Gal Costa and this particular song and special performance...have loved it since the early 80s. Gal Tropical is an incredible álbum.

[@axiomist4488]

What a nice surprise to find you reacting to Gal. I discovered Brasilian music through her and fell in love with Brasil, back in '83 and I still am. To me she is the best singer in not just Brasil, but anywhere. She has the most amazing range, not only musically, but in volume, from very soft to full blast, as you heard here. And yes, she always tells a story and feels it, she's not just a singer. Glad that you finally found Gal ; your life has just changed for the better and will become richer and richer if you keep listening to her. Try the albums "Gal Canta Caymmi", "Aquarela do Brazil", "Gal Tropical" . RIP Gal, I love you . (If you want an idea of her note range, listen to her song "INDIA". It'll blow your mind) .
