Gal Costa

Gal Costa, born in Salvador, Bahia, in 1945, established herself as a fundamental voice in Brazilian music until her passing in 2022. Her career was characterized by remarkable versatility, exploring diverse genres and leaving a distinctive mark. From her childhood, music was present in a particular way: her mother, Mariah Costa Penna, who was a great driving force in her life, used to listen to classical music in a concentrated manner during pregnancy, with the intention that this would influence her daughter's musicality. A key moment in her development was in 1959, when she first heard João Gilberto perform
