We sing to ward off the cold,” said Gal laughing at the end of the song, in his first interaction with the audience. later when you look at it (Mallu Magalhães), the singer tried some timid dance steps, with herself, smiling at the audience; then she flirted with The story of Lily Braun (Chico Buarque), asking those present to accompany the text with applause.
In the second part of the show, Gal called on stage rublewith whom he shared the voice like 2 and 2 (Caetano). “That’s Gal’s cat,” he said to her, to which he replied with a smile. In sequence, Tim Bernard joined them and the three sang Tiger🇧🇷 “They are my boys, my cute kittens,” commented the singer.
The most apotheotic moment of the night came when the trio corrected themselves Baby in cheap steam🇧🇷 In harmony, Tim and Gal played with the verses and notes of the composition of Jards Macalé and Waly Salomão, reaching the pinnacle in the vocal improvisations he made between one and the other “honey baby”. “My cats. Oh, if I were younger,” joked the singer when she said goodbye to the two.
“In 15 days we will choose our president. We will vote correctly, wisely and with intelligence. We will vote without hatred and we will vote with love,” said Gal on the eve of the election, making the L with his hands, in support of Lula’s candidacy for president .
