Music reviews of Caetano Veloso
Music Review: Excellent
Rating: 4 Stars
You can't always judge an album by its cover, but here, you can.
In two ways: Veloso hugging is acoustic guitar is indicative. His voice and his nylon string are the only two wonderful instruments on this album.
But with Veloso, lack of dynamics never arises. His voice is so haunting and captivating, I'd listen to him sing the national budget of Brazil if he wanted. His guitar playing is also amazing. He is not flashy, but every note here is clean, round and full. As a player, he is a master of tone.
Obviously one album is never enough to judge a master who has been making fifty years of the world's best music. Not enough Americans know about him, but this is accounted by homogenized tastes and lack of exposure. You can get dozens of albums with Veloso in all types of setting. So whether to start with this one depends on your taste.
I almost forgot my second reason why you can judge this album by its cover: if it says Veolso, buy it.

Description of Caetano Veloso
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.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, often dour. There's still a hint of the cultural cross-pollination he executed so well as a leader of the late-'60s tropicalia movement--check the funnily classicist medley of "Billie Jean" and "Eleanor Rigby"--but Caetano Veloso is mostly stately and mature. That's not necessarily a bad thing; the record has its moments of beauty and grace, and it's typically smart. But there's nothing nearly so dizzying as his late '60s work. --Keven McAlester
Recorded in 1985 in New York, this album features Brazilian singer and songwriter Caetano Veloso, mostly accompanying himself with an acoustic guitar, and it is a triumph of understatement and nuance. Veloso is a poet--the words are in Portuguese but are translated in the booklet--and delivers the words with an uncanny sense for shadings, and impeccable phrasing. This might be hard to gauge in his own compositions but becomes clearer in his tributes to Antonio Carlos Jobim, the bossa nova master, (with the medley "Dindi/Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amor"), and to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Michael Jackson (in a wickedly clever medley including "Nega Maluca," "Brazilian Song," "Billie Jean," and "Eleanor Rigby"). --Fernando Gonzalez
