Ich habe vor längerer Zeit den Almodovar-Film "Sprich mit ihr" gesehen, in dem Caetano Veloso sein "Cucurrucucu Paloma" sang. Seine Interpretation sowie das Bild des Schauspielers, dem dabei die Tränen über die Wange liefen, hat mich tief berührt und irgendwie nicht mehr losgelassen.

Seit vorgestern nun besitze ich endlich diese CD und bin völlig angetan von Velosos Musik!

Wunderbare Rhythmen und Melodien, die einen lauen Sommerabend gleich noch mehr versüßen!

Bei Cucurrucucu Paloma kann einem tatsächlich ein wenig wehmütig ums Herz werden - es ist aber für jeden Gemütszustand etwas auf dieser CD zu finden!

Also: Sommerabend, ein Glas Rotwein und zur Krönung Caetano Veloso und die Welt ist wunderbar!

Kaufen!

....Ich bin ein deutscher Lehrer und Dozent, der das Glueck hatte von 2009 - 2012 etwa 180 km suedlich von Abu Dhabi City am Rande der "Rub Al Khali" Wueste, der schoensten und groessten Wueste der arabischen Halbinsel, zu leben und zu arbeiten.

.... Ich liebe es auf meinen langen Autofahrten durch die Emirate und durch Saudi Arabien sowohl arabische als auch alle Arten von Musik zu hoeren!

.... Der Grund, warum ich gerade die brasilianische Musik - und speziell von Caetono Veloso - gerne hoere ist: es erinnert mich an eine der schoensten und besten Zeiten meines Lebens!

Etwa vor 30 Jahren als ich ein junger Mann etwa Mitte 20 Jahre jung war, studierte ich Ingenieurwesen und Betriebswirtschaft an einer deutschen Technischen Universitaet in den 1980er Jahren; dabei hatte ich das Glueck als Austausch-Student fuer 1 Jahr nach RIO in Brasilien an eine Uni dort zu gehen!

Ich verliebte mich in den brasilianischen Lebens-Stil: Brazilianische Musik, in die atemberaubend huebschen brasilianischen Maedchen in ihren Mikro-mini-Tanga-Bkinis an den weltberuehmten Straenden von COPACABANA, IPANEMA and LEBLON. Ich bereiste ganz Brasilien und Sued-Amerika, besuchte SAO PAULO, SALVADOR de BAHIA, MANAUS, ...

... Nun, nachdem ich etwa 25 Jahre auf der ganzen Welt gearbeitet habe (USA, Sued-Amerika, Fernost, ...) hat mich das Leben nach Arabien gebracht - und: Ich liebe es immer noch CAETANO VELOSO's wunderbare Musik zu hoeren!

.... Ich fand dieses Portrait ueber CAETANO VELOSO sehr lesenswert!

....."Caetano Veloso is a Bahian poet and composer who was born in 1942 in a small town in the interior of Bahia with a picturesque name: Santo Amaro da Purificação. There he had his first dreams as a poor child of a modest family with lots of children. In a small town, far away from civilization, when a child is born, his parents always hope that the child will choose a profession, but since chilhood, Caetano wants to be an artist. Anyhow, soon after Caetano's birth, the family moves to Salvador, and there, little Caetano falls in love with music. Knowing that his fellow Bahian Dorival Caymmi is settling down to Rio de Janeiro, he feels like studying the guitar and wait for the opportunity to go to Rio too; he spends his free time composing poetry and music. However, things happen sooner than he thought... In 1965, in Rio de Janeiro, singer Nara Leão is the major star in a musical play called Opinion. This play is sold out during several months with unprecedented success. However, due to previous commitments throughout the country, Nara Leão is forced to leave the show, and without her partecipation, the show would have to close down, unless a substitute of equivalent stature is found. The hit song of the show is "Carcará" (Hawk) by João do Vale. Suddenly Nara herself remembers a unique singer she had heard in Bahia named Bethania and reccomended her for the part. When Bethania comes to Rio, her brother Caetano Veloso also sprouts wings and does the same, bringing his songs and dreams as only baggage. Thanks to his sister's voice, he records his first songs, and inevitable first hits.

Festival time is at a Climax in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, between 1965 and 1969.

Still in 1965, Caetano presents his composition "Boa Palavra" to the Popular Music Festival organized by TV Excelsior.

In 1966 he wins the prize of Best Lyricist with the composition "Um Dia" at the TV-Record Festival. Soon after, he signs his first contract with the Philips label, together with Gal Costa with whom he records their first album, Domingo of which the main title is "Coração Vagabundo", dedicated to the girl who would soon be his wife, Dede.

1967. Through the TV program "Esta Noite Se Improvisa", he is getting more and more popular and his song presented to the 3rd Music Festival of TV-Record, "Alegria", is awarded 4th prize, for the first time accompained by electric guitars. From one day to the other he becomes a national star, gets married to Dede (a very original hippie wedding ceremony, the very first to be realized in Brazil), and moves to São Paulo.

Born in 1942 in Santo Amaro da Purificacao in Brazil's Bahia region, Veloso absorbed the rich Bahian musical heritage that was influenced by Caribbean, African, and North American pop music, but it was the cool, seductive bossa nova sound of João Gilberto (a Brazilian superstar in the 1950s) that formed the foundation of Veloso's intensely eclectic pop. Following his sister Maria Bethânia (a very successful singer in her own right) to Rio in the early '60s, the 23-year-old Veloso won a lyric-writing contest with his song "Um Dia" and was quickly signed to the Phillips label. It wasn't long before Veloso (along with other Brazilian stars such as Gal Costa and Gilberto Gil) represented the new wave of MPB (i.e., musica popular Brasileira), the all-purpose term used by Brazilians to describe their pop music. Bright, ambitious, creative, and given to an unapologetically leftist political outlook, Veloso would soon become a controversial figure in Brazilian pop. By 1967, he had become aligned with Brazil's burgeoning hippie movement and, along with Gilberto Gil, created a new form of pop music dubbed Tropicalia. Arty and eclectic, Tropicalia retained a bossa nova influence, adding bits and pieces of folk-rock and art rock to a stew of loud electric guitars, poetic spoken word sections, and jazz-like dissonance. Although not initially well received by traditional pop-loving Brazilians (both Veloso and Gil faced the wrath of former fans similar to the ire provoked by Dylan upon going electric), Tropicalia was a breathtaking stylistic syncresis that signaled a new generation of daring, provocative, and politically outspoken musicians who would remake the face of MPB.

.....Some years later, Veloso was the subject of an extensive, flattering portrait in Spin on the eve of the American release of his acclaimed 1998 album Livro. In 1999, he released Omaggio a Federico e Giulietta, a tribute to auteur Federico Fellini and his wife, actress Giulietta Masina. He also won a Grammy for the Best MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) Album for 1998's Livro at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards. After the end of the millennium, Veloso delivered a bossa nova album, the spirited Noites do Norte, a live record from Bahia, a collaboration with poet Jorge Mautner, and the songbook album A Foreign Sound. ....."
