It has been fifteen years Caetano Veloso’ last studio CD, “Fina Estampa” which won Array Grammy Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Fina Estampa carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. There were many famous songs of Caetano Veloso available. This is my first Caetano Veloso Album and i must say i am blown away.
Vete De Mi is perfect. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: La Golondrina, which shows, blatantly, how much Caetano Veloso has evolved as a singer. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. The first time I listened to Lamento Borincano I was struck by its astounding sound. Tonada De Luna Llena is pretty funky and mellow. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. In Maria La O the music gets its power. In Fina Estampa the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Capullito De Aleli sets the tone for the entire album. After few listenings I started to like Contigo En La Distancia more and more. Recuerdos De Ypacarai very upbeat. Maria Bonita is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. I now have Rumba Azul as one of my personal favorites. Pecado is new, fresh, and hypnotizing.
