Psychedelic Album
Caetano Veloso (1967)

Veloso’s first self-titled album, released in 1967, set out to give Sgt. Pepper’s a run for it’s money. It’s mixture of pop, modern culture and regional styles was revolutionary, one of the first bricks in the Tropicalia movement (the album’s first track was named after an art installation by Hélio Oiticica, called Tropicalia). In reality the album doesn’t sound quite as revolutionary now as it must have back then, but it still includes some truly original arrangements. “Tropicalia”, “Superbacana”, “Clarice” and “Ave Maria” in particular sound far ahead of their time, mixing youthful exuberance, a plethora of ideas and a mix of pop and orchestral that would continue with Tropicalia: Ou Panis et Circenses (a collaboration between Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Os Mutantes and Tom Zé that became the cornerstone of the Tropicalia movement).

Homesick Album
Caetano Veloso (1971)

The Best Of Caetano Veloso Download

His third album, still self-titled, is a love song for Brazil. He had been exiled to London, something which had not gone down well and resulted in one of the most homesick of all time. On songs such as “A Little More Blue” and “Maria Bethania” it is impossible to ignore how much he is longing for his home country. The album features a completely different sound than his previous tropicalia efforts, using jazz and folk musicians from London. In some ways it has more in common with Donovan than his normal Brazilian stylings. This is non plainer than on “London, London”, one of the most ebullient songs on the album, expressing his delight at the politeness and peace of life in London. The songs is sung in English, as are all but one of the tracks here, and makes this a good starting point for any English-speakers to get involved with Veloso’s music.

Classic Album
Transa (1972)

Transa is generally regarded as his classic. It was recorded once he had returned to Brazil, but still with many songs in English. The sound is livelier than the records he made in London, but the lyrics are no less melancholy. Elements of 70s rock and jazz obviously imbued themselves into his sound from his days away from Brazil, but here they are allied with traditional Brazilian rhythms and instruments. Perhaps this is why this album has seemed to gain in stature over the years. It offers enough Western styles to keep outsiders interested but also sounds undoubtedly Brazilian. It also helps that it features strongs as solid as “Nine out of Ten”, “Neolithic Man” and “Mora Na Filosofia” (a song that originally caused uproar thanks to it’s rock treatment of a classic samba). “Nostalgia (That’s What Rock ‘n’ Roll Is All About)” could also be seen as the template for Devendra Banhart’s first few albums.

Natural Album
Muito (1978)

Caetano experimented with various different styles during the 70s but, without doubt, one of his finest albums is Muito on which he cut back his sound to just guitar, vocals and the odd other instrument. “Terra”, a song about Mother Earth is one of the highlights, as is “Sampa”, a song which would go on to be one of his favourites as well as the unofficial anthem of Sao Paulo. The emphasis on all songs is discrete and delicate, something which took some courage as most artists around him were becoming seduced by new studio wizardry.

Pop Album
Outras Palavras (1981)

While many of his peers used the 80s to release album after album of stylized, sickly pop music, Veloso did at least show that he was at the top of the game. Outras Palavras cannot hide from the 80s; the polished production is present, which could put some people off, but the arrangements and songs are as strong as ever. In particular “Seu/Nao” and “Quero Um Baby Seu”, the two most upbeat songs on the album, are pop nuggets with a sound that shares similarities with Paul Simon and Prefab Sprout. As usual, the ballads “Blues” and “Lua Estrela” are as strong as they always are with Veloso.

Electro Album
Estrangeiro (1989)

This was Veloso’s first American release, and for it he teemed up with No Wave-icon Arto Lindsay. The resultant album is difficult to classify, including elements of electro, samba, pop and anything else that was floating around modern culture at the time. The use of effects and modern recording techniques (listen to the sound of the drums) can make this album seem very mechanical in comparison to other Veloso efforts, but repeated listens do warrant reward. There is a reason why this album was so popular in New York, allying itself with efforts from Laurie Anderson and Talking Heads. In particular the title track is a forward-propelling testament to modern culture, “Outro Retrato” is another slice of funky pop as heard on Outras Palavras and ballads such as “Branquinha” and “Etc.” are as perfect as ever.

Breakthrough Album
Circulado (1990)

By the start of the 90s Veloso seemed to have become more interested with modern R ‘n’ B and hip-hop rhythms, and this started to surface with Circulado. It’s a slinky, sultry album which warranted a “live” version (Circulado – ao Vivo, which arrived in 1991). With these albums and Tropicalia 2 (a collobaration with Gilberto Gil) Caetano showed that he could crossover to an American audience. He has been a darling of New York ever since, regularly appearing at Carnegie Hall. Opening track “Fora da Ordem” and the haunting “Itapuã” are two of the stand-out tracks on this album.

Punk Album
Cê (2006)

This album marked the start of a new phase in Caetano’s career. Working with a young trio he took apart Brazilian melodies, replacing them with an alternative/punk rock sound. Taut rhythms and feedback abound in tracks that have a striking resemblance to the German band <strong>De Kift</strong>. The quality of the original songs may not be to Caetano’s usual level, but the freshness of the band makes up for this. Songs like “Outro”, “Rocks” and “Odeia” are as vital as any music he has made, and most definitely the heaviest he has been. The band recorded a second album “Zii e Zie” which has failed to receive great reviews by fans or critics, but has not stopped the band from going on a worldwide tour.

Caetano Veloso is the debut solo album by the artist of the same name, released in Brazil in 1968. He had released Domingo the year before in collaboration with Gal Costa. It was one of the first Tropicália efforts, and features arrangements by Júlio Medaglia, Damiano Cozzella, and Sandino Hohagen, as well as an eclectic assortment of influences, demonstrating the 'antropofagia' (artistic cannibalism) of the Tropicália movement. Sounds from psychedelia, rock, pop, Indian music, bossa nova, Bahian music and other genres appear on the album. It includes the hit songs 'Alegria, Alegria', 'Tropicália', and 'Soy loco por ti, América'.

Background[edit]

Recorded to capitalize on the success of the forward-looking 'Alegria, Alegria' at the TV Record Festival, the album mostly continued in the new direction in which Caetano and his fellow tropicalistas (though that term had not yet been employed to describe them) wanted to take Brazilian popular music. Where his debut Domingo had been primarily based on more traditional Brazilian musical styles such as bossa nova, his second album relied heavily on sounds and instrumentation more common to rock and roll and psychedelia.

Notable songs[edit]

'Tropicália'[edit]

The album's opener gets its title from the Hélio Oiticicainstallation of the same name; Caetano's appropriation of the title was the basis for his initial association with the term, which later lent its name to the art movement of which he was a central figure, Tropicalismo. The song's lyrics do not mention the title or refer to it directly. In fact, Caetano had already completed the song's composition when film producerLuiz Carlos Barreto suggested 'Tropicália' as its title, seeing similarities between its content and that of the art exhibit. Caetano, who had never heard of Oiticica or his work up to that point, resolved to use the title until he found a better one, which he never did.^[2]

The Noel Rosa song 'Coisas nossas', with its listing of various elements of Brazilian society, inspired the lyrics to 'Tropicália', which similarly list cultural icons, such as the Portuguese-born but Brazilian-raised international superstar Carmen Miranda, a line from the popular Roberto Carlos song 'Quero que tudo vá pro inferno', and the Louis Malle film Viva Maria.^[2]

The song was voted by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone as the 21st greatest Brazilian song.^[3]

'Alegria, Alegria'[edit]

Reception[edit]

Caetano has expressed displeasure with the album, calling it 'amateurish and confused',^[2] but it is widely regarded as a classic,^[4] often showing up on lists of greatest Brazilian albums.^[6][7] It was very popular upon its release in Brazil, and the Brazilian press used the song title 'Tropicália' to christen the larger artistic movement it represented 'Tropicalismo', to the disdain of Caetano himself.^[2] The album was inducted into the Latin Grammy Award Hall of Fame in 2001.^[8]

All tracks are written by Caetano Veloso except where noted.
