Hello again,
This week, let’s salute singer Gal Costa on The Sounds of Brazil as part of our month-long ‘Songs In The Feminine Key’ theme.
Gal Costa will forever be a Brazilian original. Her voice was warm and welcoming, timeless – the personification of the tropical imagery that still gives flight to our imagination. Her long career has given us dozens of wonderful albums to enjoy and I’ve pulled together many of her very best songs to share.
Our playlist provides some pretty good company for her this week, with tunes from keyboardist Marcos Ariel, Dori Caymmi, and Fabiana Passoni covering a Minnie Riperton classic to open our show. Trumpeter Randy Brecker picks up his horn for a Brazilian jazz treat, Brian McKnight duets with Ivete Sangalo and Djavan sings in English for a song title that perfectly fits our September season.
What more new sounds? We’re happy to oblige with Italy’s Latin Vibe, guitarist Mark Sganga’s ‘Afterglow’ and our most-requested new music song from Marcio Menescal and the ‘After Dark: Bossa Grooves’ CD from my own Points South Music label.
Don’t miss our show! Where else can you heat up and cool down at the same time?
Happy Listening,
Scott Adams
