This live recording captures Caetano Veloso during the New York leg of his Circulad“ tour in 1992. Naturally, several of the tracks here are from Veloso's strong 1991 release, Circulad“. But the two main highlights of this CD are the absolutely stunning version of Bob Dylan's "Jokerman" and the equally superb version of Djavan's romantic hit "Oceano." On the latter, Veloso is backed solely by his own acoustic guitar, and the result is nothing else than sheer musical perfection and beauty. These two tracks alone make the album more than worthwhile, but there is a lot more to it -- for example the beautiful "Queixa," which gains a completely new and dramatic string introduction. Veloso also sings the pretty "Debaixo Dos Carac¢is Dos Seus Cabelos," written by Erasmo Carlos and Roberto Carlos for Veloso during his exile in London, and "Mano a Mano," a nice tango by Argentine superstar Carlos Gardel. "Um Indio" gains a more robust and direct musical frame, and many people find this version even better than the classic album recording from 1977. "O Leaozinho," from the same 1977 album, does not come off very well, but without a doubt the real low point of this CD is the horrible electric guitar solo that concludes an otherwise nice "A Filha da Chiquita Bacana." Why Veloso permitted his guitarist to solo in this way is something of a mystery, but this misstep is also a very small detail toward the end of an otherwise very fine live album. ~ Philip Jandovsky

The album Circulad“ had so much success in the previous year that Veloso released this double CD with some of its songs, like "Circulad“ de Ful“," a baiao with berimbau and cello Indian-like scales, built over the concrete poet Haroldo de Campos' homonymous poem (from the book Gal xias); "Itapua"; and "A Terceira Margem do Rio" (a beautiful composition by Milton Nascimento/Veloso that has, under its universe of ecological images, glimpses of psychoanalytical and semantic impressions). The album opens with the re-recording of a Bahian samba, "A Tua Presen‡a." "Americanos" is a striking discourse about homosexuals, AIDS, and Americans, not by accident performed immediately after Michael Jackson's "Black or White." "Um Indio" is a ballad recorded with success by Milton Nascimento and Barao Vermelho about an Indian who will come like a futuristic extraterrestrial. "Queixa" is an old romantic tune, now with a rock intro. The traditional Veloso recovery of old values is represented here by Carlos Gardel's immortal tango "Mano A Mano," with a superb cello backing (Jaques Morelenbaum, of course). Bossa is then recalled in "Chega de Saudade" (No More Blues). "Disseram Que Eu Voltei Americanizada" was the song written by Vicente Paiva and Luiz Peixoto for Carmen Miranda following her cold reception by Brazilians after her explosion in the U.S. The sentimental section of the album includes old Veloso hits ("Vocˆ � Linda," "O Leaozinho") and a beautiful '70s hit by Roberto Carlos/Erasmo Carlos, "Debaixo Dos Carac¢is Dos Seus Cabelos." But the big hit of the album was "Jokerman" (Bob Dylan). The arrangements had a sensitive approach in the acoustic orientation, in contrast with Veloso's most frenetic albums. ~ Alvaro Neder
