Music reviews of Live in Bahia
Music Review: Veloso At His Best
Rating: 5 Stars
I first "rediscovered" Brazilian music several years ago, coming into it again the way I remembered it to be back in the '60s - all light and love and Bossa Nova - Tom Jobim and João Gilberto, exquisitely lyrical, exquisitely beautiful music. Then I came upon Caetano Veloso and my real love affair with Brazilian music began in earnest. Because I did not speak or understand Brazilian Portugues at the time, I had to be content with the musicality of Veloso's songs. Lyrics translated into English were few & far between in my early adventures listening to many of the great Brazilian vocalists. I will say straight out that current Brazilian music would not be where it is today without Caetano Veloso. A poet, a tunesmith, a superb musician, a political activist, to name just a few of his many accomplishments, Veloso has truly been a barometer of his times in Brazil. He sings of love, sure, but more importantly he sings of Brazil's stormy history, of its people of all colors, of the earth and the sky and the ocean, and of Bahia, where he was born - all of the mysteries that make up Brazil. His smooth voice can make women melt in his love songs; he uses that same smoothness, however, to surround his most politically charged poems. This 2 CD set encompasses all of the different sides of Caetano Veloso. "Noites do Norte" is a brilliant song built around the superb text of Joaquim Nabuco, telling of the effect of slavery in Brazil. "Tigresa", "Haiti" & "Zumbi" are remarkable for their powerful political statments. The love songs "Cobra Coral", "Samba de Verão", "Mimar Você", and "Tempestades Volares" are complex and beautiful, but "Tropicália" is the song that defined the "new order" in music in Brazil, with Veloso at its forefront singing of the realities of life for so many Brazilians. This is a handsome set of CDs, 32 songs replete with lyrics & their translations, and with excellent notes explaining many of the inspirations for Veloso's songs. This is a marvelous first album for people new to Veloso and a "must have" for Veloso's loyal followers.

Description of Live in Bahia
Singer, composer, poet, author, and Tropicalismo cofounder Caetano Veloso is the sound and soul of Brazil. This two-disc set, recorded in 2001 in his birth state of Bahía and in the megapolis known as São Paulo, confirms his extraordinary status. With a rhythm section, percussionists, and the able arranging and cello playing of his longtime partner, Jacques Morelenbaum, Veloso's feathery falsetto delves into some new and old staples in his celebrated songbook. In Veloso's sound world, rock, R&B, and reggae easily mix with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and song forms. A lot of the material, like the anthemic "13 de Maio" and "Zumbi"--which salutes the legendary black leader of a runaway slave republic--comes from his Noites Do Norte, which dealt with his country's legacy of slavery. Veloso also shows his debt to the bossa nova era by dusting off Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Caminos Cruzados" and the mid-'60s chestnut "Samba de Verão." But Veloso's voice and guitar playing and the audience participation on such classics as "Araçá Azul," "Nosso Estranho Amor," "Mimar Você," and "Cobra Coral" really demonstrate his loving link with his people. Released simultaneously with his long-awaited autobiography, Tropical Truth, this aural document sums up the art of Caetano Veloso in all of its soulful, syncopated science. --Eugene Holley, Jr.International CDs
