The simplicity of the show (vocalist and guitar) and the quality of the performance made this one of the most enjoyable evenings I have spent at Lisner. Gal connects very easily with the audience and vise-versa. Obrigado Gal!
Very relaxing evening. a comfortable setting, in a chic ambiance.
I waited ten years to see Gal Costa live after a trip to Rio in 2001. She has a limited tour schedule and I wasn't always free when she was near my hometown of Philadelphia, PA. But Washington, DC was close enough to make a trip out of it. We stayed at the historic Lombardy Hotel which was only two blocks away. Her voice was better than we expected. Crisp, clear and with a greater range than I thought she had. So much control and depth to her vocal abilities. She sang many familiar songs and even the ones that weren't so familiar were good. The show lasted about 90 minutes and she was accompanied by a most wonderful guitarist (can't recall his name). They played off each other a number of times to the crowds pleasure. I can't wait for the next opportunity to see her again! Viva, Gal Costa!!!
It was good, but I miss a real band. It was only 1 guitar player and the singer.
A Brazilian national treasure....I searched for ten months in Brazil to see Gal perform live but without success and then came back to DC to find her right here. The concert was superb - the venue is a modest-sized auditorium and she was accompanied by an outstanding guitarist.
Perhaps not a fiery as her CDs, but a wonderful show for any who appreciate her music. It was Gal accompanied by a single guitarist. She did a wide verity of songs (both her own and covers - Tom Jobim, Chico, etc.). She played for a straight 1 1/2 hrs, with 2 encores. The venue (Lizner Auditorium) was excellent.
The brazilian musician is always exceptional, with e beautiful voice and so sympathetic with de audience.
Gal was wonderful! even without her band she could deliver an excellent show. I'll see her anytime she comes along.
Amazing!!! It was a pleasure to see her performing live.
