Unlike her two previous works, this is a more soft, calm, reaffirming Gal Costa's and her early bossa nova style - before she turned into Tropicalia sex symbol. Produced by Caetano Veloso and several tracks arranged by João Donato, it was a massive commercial failure in the 1970s but regained a cult status over the years. It is the only Gal Costa album to make the "100 Greatest Brazilian Music Records" list chosen by Rolling Stone Brasil. All songs from Brazuca Sounds are available on our Spotify playlist:
