Gal Costa

Gal Costa was born in 1945 in Salvador, Brazil. Costa was one of the most significant artists in Brazilian music and a founder of the Tropicália movement, an artistic movement that disrupted Brazilian art and society. During a musical career of nearly six decades, she toured internationally, released several albums, and influenced many singers who came after her. In 2011, Costa was honored with a Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. When she died in 2022 at the age of 77, then president-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva hailed her as "one of the world's greatest singers" who impacted the lives of millions of her fellow Brazilians.

HERMETO PASCOAL Toronto 1990

One of the best things about being young is that everything is new. If you’re into music, you have literal worlds of sounds to discover, and I can’t help but think of that when I look at my candid portraits of Brazilian musician Hermeto Pascoal, taken backstage at a concert he gave here in 1990, on a double bill with guitarist Egberto Gismonti. (More on him next week.) I went to the show at the urging of a friend who knew a lot about Brazilian music, and who said that he was utterly unique. I talked my way backstage somehow, probably with my friend Jane Bunnett and her husband Larry Cramer, and for whom Pascoal wrote a song on the spot. (It would appear a few years later as “For You” on her Rendez-Vous Brazil/Cuba record.

Hermeto Pascoal was born in 1936 in what was the remote state of Alagoas in Brazil, an albino and legally blind. He took to music early and by the early ‘60s was playing and recording with musicians like Edu Lobo, Airto Moreria and Elis Regina, part of several new waves in post-bossa nova Brazilian music. He caught the attention of Miles Davis and appeared on the Live-Evil record, and by the ‘70s was leading large groups and making music around the melodica and button accordion and several folk instruments; one of his compositions involved playing flutes while immersed in a lagoon. The closest analogue he might have would be Sun Ra or George Clinton, and his records can be a bit dizzying, even overwhelming.

The green room backstage at Hermeto Pascoal’s concert was as busy as his music, so it was astounding to watch him calmly write out notation for the tune he gave to my friend Jane Bunnett in the midst of the cacophony. He sat at the piano and played, talking to musicians and friends visiting as he did. At one point a bunch of his band members got their hands on some big cardboard tubes and began improvising with them, adding to the mayhem backstage. The best I could do was try to capture it all like a fly on the wall, shooting a roll each of black and white and high speed colour slide film, little of which captures the sound and chaos in the room.
