One of the most important shows that would take place in the first Brazilian edition of Primavera Sound had to be cancelled. Gal Costa was scheduled to remember her classic live album “FA-TAL” (1971) at the festival, but, for medical reasons, she will no longer be able to perform on November 5th, the first of the two days of the event that takes place in São Paulo, in the Anhembi District.

According to Nilson Raman, the veteran artist’s tour manager, in an official statement, Gal had to remove a lump in her right nasal fossa three weeks ago and is in the process of recovery. All commitments assumed by her until the end of November had to be suspended.

The organization of the festival has not yet said whether another artist will be invited to perform at the time when the Bahian show should take place.
