The verse that says “holy things remain”, put into the verse of the song Dark Nookin Caetano Velosogives the title to the tour that the singer from Rio Grande do Sul Adriana Calcanhotto will perform in honor of Gal Costa in the months of April and May. The tour around Brazil starts this Thursday (27th), from 9 pm, at the Hall of Events at PUCRS (Av.

Preto says that the desire to pay this homage came from the entire team that worked with Gal. “We thought of a show with the same musicians, same lighting, same roadie…”, details the producer. He says that when he was asked about the name of the singer who could be in charge of the project, Adriana Calcanhotto came to mind instantly. “Like Gal, she was one of the rare artists of the Brazil who knew how to make a fluent transit between the avant-garde of Brazilian music and the hits from popular radio stations”, he justifies. “They reached similar places, whether singing poets like Waly Salomão, or reaching the masses through the soundtracks of soap operas. And Gal loved Adriana.”
“I was very happy (with the invitation), and I am very happy and moved by this opportunity”, highlights the singer and songwriter from Rio Grande do Sul. “I learned a lot from Gal. I loved (and love) her a lot. Our encounters were few but very affectionate.” The singer from Rio Grande do Sul (who has lived in São Paulo for many years) observes that, with the invitation from Preto’s team, she is even able to “better assimilate everything that happened”.
“It’s been a few months of listening to her music again, listening to her speak in interviews and watching making of of recordings and works, a real dive. I feel like an orphan and it’s been painful, because she was very well, active, excited, participating in the festival, and then this happens..”, underlines Adriana, referring to the fact that Gal left “abruptly”.
In addition to this intersection between the two singers’ careers, the repertoire also includes compositions by Wally Salomão It is Augusto de Camposwho wrote the Portuguese version of solitude – classic of Duke Ellington recorded by Gal; and the composer Lupicínio Rodriguesto whom both Adriana and Gal paid tribute, respectively on the live album Craziness and at the show She told me like this: songs by Lupicínio Rodrigues. There are also songs that, in some way, draw portraits of Gal. Among them, of course, are Dark Nookin addition to My name is gal (Roberto and Erasmo Carlos), Faces and mouths (with melody by Caetano and verses that Maria Bethânia wrote thinking about the singer, in the first person), Cheap Steam (composed by Jards Macalé and Wally Salomão), Baby (Caetano Veloso) and black love (Caetano Veloso and Pericles Cavalcanti)
