Since joining up with Tropicalia bossa-rockers Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Tom Ze in the swinging '60s, Brazilian songbird Gal Costa has been on a roll. In the last four decades, Costa has laid down tracks for the movement's manifesto Tropicália: Ou Panis Et Circensis, collaborated with Latin jazz giant João Gilberto, and released songs in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Tonight, the mistress of Tropicalia delivers soaring vocals and brings along some talented Southern company. Rio-born jazz guitarist Romero Lubambo stirs up the West Village with his timeless jazz classics and upbeat grooves for a new era.
