Brazilian singer Gal Costa, one of the most distinctive voices from the country's Tropicalia movement, has died at 77, her press team said on Wednesday.
Maria das Graças Penna Burgos was born in the northeastern city of Salvador in 1945 and began her musical career in 1960 after meeting fellow singer Caetano Veloso. Along with Maria Bethânia, Gilberto Gil and Tom Zé, Costa was part of a wave of singers from the state of Bahia who became central players in the Tropicalia movement.
