Editorial Reviews :
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.
