| Caetano Veloso Mp3, Caetano Veloso Music Lyrics | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Caetano Veloso has been, with Gilberto Gil, the foremost exponent of "Tropicalismo," a Brazilian approach combining traditional samba with a variety of Caribbean, US and European styles, political enough to get most of its practitioners exiled by the military dictatorship.Branca (1969) Yes, that's Portuguese for White Album.Duprat oversaw the other tracks, including effective use of orchestra ("The Empty Boat").They do overuse fuzz guitar fumbling on otherwise acoustic tunes: after a while, it's not incongruous anymore, just distracting ("Marinheiro So").Transa (1972) Recorded after his return to Brazil, but paradoxically most of the lyrics are in English.Beatles tribute "It's A Long Way.""Neolithic Man" and the dramatic "You Don't Know Me."It's more energetic and less refined than his later work, with an attitude that's at once rocking and carefree.Azul (1973) Apparently this is one of his most experimental works.I've read that Veloso was going for a deliberately sloppy sound.Cinema Transcendental (1979) "Menino do Rio" is here, and I think this was one of his biggest hit albums.Outras Palavras (1981) I think the hit "Lua E Estrela" is here."Queixa," it's a consistently artful work, and a fine introduction to his approach.Uns (1983) The last album with A Outra Banda da Terra, which he broke up because they were becoming too professional.Because his compositional talents aren't particularly what's on display here (one of his five compositions is the bizarre, rambling "Vaca Profana"), this is not a record for the uninitiated, but his fans should find it captivating.As one of the few Veloso records readily available in the US, you may want to pick this up, but don't expect to be blown away by it.Caetano Unplugged without the commercials.Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa.Caetano's serious and when he's just fucking around."Nossa Gente") to hard rock ("As Coisas").This time around Veloso records standards from throughout Latin America, all in Spanish, mostly with lush orchestral backing.Fina Estampa Ao Vivo (1995) Yet another live record, but not related to the previous studio album at all: instead, the track listing mixes his past hits with offbeat covers, like Circulado Vivo.Fina Stampa and lots of traditional Brazilian percussion.Mais Baiano" and "Doideca," where leaping horns and reeds (arranged by Jaques Morelenbaum, who produced with Veloso) cleverly complement the driving drum tracks.Carlinhos Brown bangs on everything in sight (including PVC tubing), but somehow even that makes musical sense.It's nice that Veloso is stretching himself to compose for orchestra, but most of the pieces are disposable background music ("Orfeu Leva Euridice").The big exception is "Batuque Final," a voice and percussion improvisation by Ramiro Mussoto that's impressively creepy.Noites De Norte (2001) A further exploration of orchestral strings and dense percussion, along the lines of Livro ("Zera A Reza"), but incorporating more of Veloso's standard samba ("Meu Rio"; the lovely "Cobra Coral").Foreign Sound (2004) All covers of songs from the U.Veloso, it's hard to tell what he's getting at.Veloso and Morelenbaum (the tricky horn arrangement on "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes").Come to think of it, Veloso might be making fun of "If It's Magic" while he's at it."Rocks," where he stinks up what could have been one of the disc's standout tunes).Bacon hot dogs, wine around L.Bring sexy back with LA Weekly's guide to the sexiest spots in Los Angeles.Speak Freely at LA Weekly with your own Blank Blankly slogan.Whether you're a renter, a buyer or a seller, Living Quarters is your guide to LA living.Sign up and we'll deliver Insiders right to your inbox!LA to Vegas is your guide to living it up in Sin City.Get Jonathan Gold's restaurant picks sent right to your phone and never miss another great meal!The video has been added to your playlist.Change this to see only comments above a certain value.Brazil (and Caetano during his London years).This is a wonderful song.Would you like to comment?Sampa by Caetano Veloso, a incredible songwrite...Sampa by Caetano Veloso, a incredible songwriter and singer of brazilian music.Too many keywords can constrain your search.After viewing product detail pages or search results, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in. |
