I've decided "Noites Do Norte", Caetano Veloso's
international effort from 2001 is one of his very
best records. It's quite a stew too, covering as it does
almost the entirety of the vast musical territory the
great Brazilian has made his own over three plus decades.
So, string laden art songs rub against reggae, rock, and
Veloso's signature playful urbane 'nueva folklorico'.
He's achieved a stature in Brazil beyond even Dylan's
here, yet, his artistry seems most like Mandy Patimkin.
Both singers seem to revel in a high wire act defined by
extreme audacity effected by both rigorous control and an
ability to bring back -alive- adult tales from the
caverns of the human heart. Read the lyrics.
