About
The 1973 album Índia stands as a definitive masterpiece of Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), representing a pivotal moment of artistic maturity and political transgression for Gal Costa. Produced by Guilherme Araújo with musical direction by Gilberto Gil, the record emerged during the height of Brazil's military dictatorship, immediately clashing with the regime's strict moral codes. Its iconic cover art, featuring a close-up of Gal in indigenous-inspired attire and a red bikini, was famously censored by the Department of Censorship and Public Order, forcing the LP to be sold in opaque plastic sleeves to shield the public from its "subversive" imagery. .
