Abracaco - Caetano Veloso CD

Caetano Velosos album Abraao was released in 2012 in South America and Europe, won a Latin Grammy for Best Singer-Songwriter Album and earned the #1 spot on Rolling Stone Brazils Best National Albums of 2012 list. Produced by Pedro S and Caetano Velosos son Moreno Veloso, Abraao is the final installment of a trilogy with the youthful trio he employed on 2007s C and 2009s zii e zie known as the Banda C: Pedro S on electric guitar, Ricardo Dias Gomes on bass and Rhodes piano, and Marcelo Callado on drums. "We are people of different generations sharing similar musical and human interests," Veloso says. A fusion of the traditional Tropiclia style and the indie pop of contemporary Rio, the record includes 11 original songs written by Veloso.The title of the record, Abraao, meaning "big hug," is an expression the singer uses to sign off on emails and is employed here to mark the end of the critically acclaimed musical trilogy. David Byrne said of C in Artforum, "Veloso has found a sparse, post-rock beauty in which strange yet simple rock instrumentation is juxtaposed with softly seething vocals." Of zii e zie the Times (UK) says, "The Brazilian master remains in a league of his own. Forty years after injecting a rock beat into Brazilian pop (and earning the disapproval of the countrys military rulers in the process), Veloso has returned to similar territory...fans wont be disappointed."
