	Caetano Veloso
		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.
		Caetano's main contributions are his lovely lyrics - often complex and even arcane, other times stunningly direct - and his keen sense of irony.
		As usual, most tunes are by Veloso; the music of "A Terceira Margem Do Rio" is by Milton Nascimento, "Baião Da Penha" is by Guio de Morais and David Nasser, and the words to the title track "Circulado de Fulô" are from a book by Haroldo de Campos.

	Caetano Veloso - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: A true heavyweight, perhaps one of the greatest figures in international pop music, Caetano Veloso is a pop musician/poet/filmmaker/political activist whose stature in the pantheon of international pop musicians is on a par with that of Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, and Lennon/McCartney.
		Veloso continued to record abroad and write songs for other Tropicalia stars, but he would not be allowed to return to Brazil permanently until 1972.
		Veloso was one of the rare musicians who was popular, sold a lot of records (at least in Brazil), was a certifiable superstar, but was never self-aggrandizing, narcissistic, or overly concerned with how hip he was.

		Veloso's feathery, Miles Davis-like, Portuguese-inflected vocals negotiate the English language with silken skill with a 28-piece orchestra led by his long-time arranger, cellist Jaques Morelenbaum--featuring Carlinhos Brown on percussion and Veloso's gifted son Moreno on guitar--over Afro-bossa rhythms and spacey, echoplexed synth/guitar strains.

	Caetano Veloso Discography - Page 1 (1965-1979) (Slipcue.com Brazilian Music Guide)
		CAETANO VELOSO is one of Brazil's greatest contemporary songwriters, and perhaps the most stylistically consistent artist to come out of the late '60s "tropicalia" movement, which blended rock and roll, pop kitsch and North American youth culture into the already potent musical stew of Brazilian pop.
		Caetano Veloso's artistic brilliance partly lays in his ability to appropriate popular sounds, such as mainstream rock and jazz fusion instrumentation, without letting contemporary technique overwhelm his own personal style.
		Caetano is kind of in the background during a lot of this record -- although he authored roughly half the songs (often in collaboration with Gilberto Gil) and sings on several tracks as well.
