 | The Best of Caetano Veloso [Read More ...]
The Best of Caetano Veloso:The song selection on this CD had very limited variety. It was a disappointing selection, to say the least. I had expectations that his music would be much more interesting - but it lacked depth and was a poor choice on my part. Dale Brookins |
 | Fina Estampa [Read More ...]
Review: Pure Brazilian Magic:I first heard Caetano Veloso's version of "Cucurrucucu Paloma" in the film Talk to Her. Even though I listen to a lot of different types of music, I had never been so moved by a performance before. This rendition of the Mexican classic song really stirred thi... |
 | Omaggio a Federico e Giulietta [Read More ...]
Description: The Bahia-born superstar Caetano Veloso is a huge fan of filmmakers Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina. On this CD--recorded in San Marino in 1997--the angel-voiced Veloso is supported by a Brazilian combo featuring the tasty string arrangements of cellist and longtime col... |

 | Fina Estampa [Read More ...]
Description: In Fina Estampa, released in 1994, Brazilian singer and songwriter Caetano Veloso set out to recast classics of the Latin American songbook, most of them in Spanish. It is quite a challenge. Some of these songs have been dulled by rote repetition and over-singing. Perhaps it just... |

Description: Caetano Veloso has been tied in a kind of historical knot for decades with Gilberto Gil, with whom Veloso helped spur the Tropicalia movement in the 1960s. And just as Gil's moved on to reference and discuss a panoply of themes in his music, so too is Veloso on an extended foray ... |

 | Caetano e Chico: Ao Vivo na Bahia [Read More ...]
Review: O melhor da MPB:Eu ouvi este disco pela primeira vez em 1982, 10 anos após seu lançamento. Devido à forte censura no Brasil estas músicas raramente eram tocadas nas rádios. É um dos discos que melhor traduzem aquilo podemos chamar de MPB, Música Popular Brasileira. Todas a... |
 | Caetano Veloso (Trilhos Urbanos) [Read More ...]
Description: Not to be confused with Veloso's self-titled 1967 debut--an essential record, by the way--this 1986 platter finds the Brazilian pop superstar in a contemplative mood. It's almost all acoustic, unaccompanied and, in contrast to the whimsical leftist pop of Veloso's early years, of... |
 | Sem Lenço, Sem Documento [Read More ...]
Review: tropicalia's blues:Caetano Veloso sings about love, of course, but he also effectively captures the tenor of a generation in Brazil, and this "Best Hits" collection spans several decades of his skill in channeling that Zeitgeist. Highly, highly recommended classic album of 60s-80... |

 | Qualquer Coisa [Read More ...]
Review: The first song on this album is amazing.:The first song on this album justifies its purchase singlehandedly, it being one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. It is a perfect song for the type of song it is and easily the best song on the album. That said I only gave this 4 ... |

 | Antologia 67/03 [Read More ...]
Otimo:This is a good 2-disc representation of the broad range of Caetano's music (and that of his sister, the incomparable Maria Bethânia, who appears on several tracks). Should be in every collection of Brazilian
music. |
 | Estrangeiro [Read More ...]
Review: Very strong effort:When I say 4 stars, I mean in the context of Caetano's lifetime body of work. Estrangeiro and "Circulado" should be seen as brother albums, much in the same way as his 71 album and "Transa," and "Qualquer Coisa" and "Joia." "O Estrangeiro" is undoubtedly one ... |
