Caetano Veloso "A Foreign Sound" Album Review

A must have, excelent album, and there is a sound reason...
notwithstanding the validity of all personal opinions shown about the appeal of this project from caetano, i just would like to mention what he did stated at his concerts on this material (which i attended).

there has been a constant influence of english worded music in brazilian and in caetano's life (he even spent all his exile while the brazilian dictatorship, living in london). then brazil and the usa have a long road of interinfluence, both ways, from the sounding success of carmen miranda in hollywood to the appraisal people like jobim, sergio mendes, ayrto and many other received from the american press and public, rocketing to world fame from there (something brazil can not do is to discover itself: it needs from others!).

then there is the attention the brazilian public devoted to american artists. that brings its load of outstanding cases from the american song having strong impression on the brazilian ear.

so from here, from all this wealth of reciprocating cultural milestones, it arised according to caetano's words, a common universe from which he wanted to design a random/not so random (he is an artist, he needs the randomness against the method!)promenade.

to listen to caetano like if he were only a local exotic specimen, with a life alien to what we call globalization today, would be not to know caetano in his human depth, made of roots and uprootedness, tradition and influences, receptivity and demands. and it would deprive us from getting a balanced approach to his genius, to his universal power of poetry and sensibility.

he is normal. he's been there where we are today 40 years ago.

and that 's that.
