Caetano Veloso
Velo
Philips (Brazil) 1984
824 024 1 (LP)
sleeve : VG+(wear on edge and corner.)
media : EX-/EX-(some slightly noise caused by slightly hairlines. the beginning of A1 has some light noise.)
A central figure of the Tropicália movement, Caetano Veloso returned in 1984 with this band-oriented set, recorded with his crack backing unit Banda Nova. Across the album, a solid rhythm section and bright synthesizer textures drive a rock-tinged sound that reflects the evolving Brazilian scene of the period—melding traditional rhythms such as samba with contemporary influences, even touches of hip-hop. Highlights include the Brazilian-reggae-inflected 3-beat groove of A3, where shimmering synths interlock with the rhythm section, and the buoyant B1, carried by an unmistakably ’80s band feel and Caetano’s playful, skipping vocal delivery.
A3: Nine Out of Ten
B1: O Quereres
