Caetano veloso -transa

KingOfCats [Edit] [Delete] 08:22, 16 December '05

"Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry..."

Transa was written whilst this brazilian pioneer was locked away in london exile and it shows. Torn between brazil and the uk, it's key themes of homesickness, prison-wall anguish and Love for sand slipping through fingertips make It perhaps my favourite of his. Musically it fuses a european influence with brazillian psychedelia with the GREAT HUGE PERCUSSION That he does so well. This is the sound of a man going through less-than-perfect times whilst keeping his PERFECT SKILLZ

Any other caetano fans here?
