Along with fellow Bahians like Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and Maria Bethania, Caetano Veloso was one of the key figures in the tropicalismo movement that was the Brazilian equivalent of America's late-'60s countercultural revolution. While his '90s recordings ventured into the rarefied realm of artsong, his earlier material, as featured on this fine compilation, ranges from American-influenced pop-rock to gentle bossa nova (Joao Gilberto--yet another Bahian--was a big influence on Veloso's early work). Whether storming the barricades with an attack led by electric guitar and synthesizer, or subtly insinuating his sentiments via low-key, acoustic neo-bossa arrangements, Veloso frequently expressed his radical politics through his finely honed lyrics. At the time, Veloso's message was of equal import to his music, but decades later, even non-Brazilian ears can gain much just from the sound of Veloso's voice and the sophisticated structures of his music.
