É um bom álbum, uma coisa que me incomodou bastante nele é o excesso de gritos da Gal, em algumas faixas chega a ser irritante, ela pode gritar, mas numa medida que não incomode o ouvinte. Seu conteúdo lírico é bom. Destaque para "Meu Nome É Gal".

* Tuareg (8/10)
* Cultura E Civilização (7.5/10)

Grown in the same humus as her other 1969 album Gal Costa - but this one is even wilder, crazier and with more drive. Psychedelic Brazil on it´s peak (at least for an old Kraut Fan like me)

You may be familiar with the idiom: “Dance like nobody’s watching.” On this album, Gal Costa sings like nobody’s watching. All the more resonating under the Brazilian bureaucracy that ruled during that time.
