Pure Brazilian Magic.......2003-05-23

I first heard Caetano Veloso's version of "Cucurrucucu Paloma" in the film Talk to Her. Even though I listen to a lot of different types of music, I had never been so moved by a performance before. This rendition of the Mexican classic song really stirred things inside me. Even if the rest of the songs in the CD were bad (which they are definitely not) it would be worth to buy it just for Cucurrucucu Paloma.

Caetano Sings Spanish Language Favorites ao vivo.......2002-12-31

Caetano delivers another stirring live performance recording, this time of fine spanish langauge favorites from the Fina Estampa studio album. My favorites are cucurrucucu paloma, also recently featured in Almodovar's Talk To Her and haiti. As always his musical selection is stellar and his voice in this recording is sweet and strong. This is a fine introduction for new comers to Caetano Veloso.

AO VIVO Fina Estampa > Fina Estampa.......1999-07-16

I think maybe I'm biased towards the AO VIVO version of Fina Estampa because I saw this show in Sao Paulo and it did nothing less than produce an out-of-body experience in me--my soul was completely enthralled! (There's a video out of this CD if you too would like to experience the show) I've played this CD for my family and relatives and they all absolutely love it--they're Mexican and they don't feel at all offended by Caetano's renditions of these traditional songs. I mean really, many of these songs have been recorded over and over by artists throughout Latin America. What's different about Caetano's rendition of these songs is the soulful touch he adds to all his music!

Best spanish singing by a Brazilian. My favorite album.......1998-06-19

Many but not all of the songs are the same. It seems to have been created out of the desire to correct a mistake or two on the non-live album. Some songs I like better on this album, some on Fina Estampa. The best song IS Fina Estampa, written by the formidable peruvian songwriter Chabuca Granda. But his version of Cucurrucucu Paloma is the most haunting and engaging of the 50 versions I have heard. I even love the songs in Portugues though I don't understand the lyrics. This album was a present from some people I visited in Belo Horizonte and is one of my all-time favorites.

In Fina Estampa, released in 1994, Brazilian singer and songwriter Caetano Veloso set out to recast classics of the Latin American songbook, most of them in Spanish. It is quite a challenge. Some of these songs have been dulled by rote repetition and over-singing. Perhaps it just takes an artist like Veloso, who understands the value of what not to do, to make them new. "Contigo a la distancia" gets an understated, perhaps melancholy, treatment that gives the song a long-lost feeling of yearning; "Pecado," originally a tango, becomes a sober bolero; "Recuerdos de Ypacaray," a Paraguayan classic, is performed to an austere solo bass accompaniment. Veloso might have set out just to revisit the classics, but by the album's end, he makes them his own. --Fernando Gonzalez

Caetano in Spanish.......2006-08-01

I bought this CD for one specific band: Recuerdos de Ypacarai. I loved all the other recordings. I hoped for more rithm, but still a good buy for those who remember 40s and 50s songs from South America (besides Brazil).

the man from Bahia.......2005-01-07

One of Brazil's best songwriters, Caetano Veloso on this CD plays homage to other Latin American composers, mostly from the distant past and all in Spanish, with great songs from Ernesto Lequona ("Maria La O", Cuba, 1931), Agustin Lara ("Maria Bonita", Mexico, 1941), Chabuca Granda ("Fina Estampa", Peru, 1956), and 12 others, ranging from 1860 with "La Golondrina" to the most recent, Astor Piazzolla's 1988 "Vuelvo Al Sur".

With his high, pure voice, which has a lovely, subtle vibrato, Caetano sings like a smooth caress, in a style that is at once sophisticated and sweet. The musical arrangements are also soft and gentle, and I especially like the ones that include the cello of Jacques Morelenbaum.
Veloso, born in Bahia in 1942, was part of the Bossa Nova craze that hit America in the mid '60s, started by Joao and Astrud Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim among others. Still going strong, Veloso won a Latin Grammy in 2003, and was part of the marvelous soundtrack of the 2002 film "Frida".

Full of romance, this is a perfect CD for those candlelit dinners; the only lively number is "Capullito de Aleli", which is delightful, and will make those who remember the cha-cha-cha want to get up and dance. One of my favorites is a song so familiar to me from childhood, "Pecado", that Veloso gives a whole new spin to...it is innovative and beautiful, and another is the fascinating "Tornada de Luna Llena". The booklet insert lists the musicians and includes the lyrics, the sound is excellent, and total playing time is 51'55.

Beautiful Music.......2002-08-24

This is a collection of Latin American classic pop ballads. (The songs were not composed by Veloso.) It is a beautifully sung and played album. The lyrics are included, for those of us who would like to practice our Spanish. (Veloso is a Brazilian singer, but these songs are sung in Spanish.) The basic tone of the cd is peaceful, reflective, and melancholy. It's definitely not lively dnace music. Other reviewers have commented that these songs are well-worn chestnuts, but I think the average person buying this cd in America or Canada would not know this. Certainly I was not familiar with any of these songs before I purchased this album. For people like me, this is a fine introduction to Latin standards. For people who are familiar with this music, I think Veloso's exquisite performance of the songs also makes this cd well worth buying.

sublimo que no.......2002-04-13

Well I was born in Peru and can safely say that I am an aficionado of Latin American folk music. This cd has given me much satsfaction with Caetano's sublime rendering of these timeless classics. His interpretations are unique, masterfully arranged and full of heart and soul.

A wonderful tribute.......2002-02-10

This is a heartfelt tribute by a leading Brazilian singer-songwriter to songwriters of the Spanish New World, and probably the most consistently satisfying album by Caetano I have. Among the highlights are Jaques Morelembaum's beautiful, yet austere and somber, arrangement for "Un vestido y un amor" (I understand Fito Paez was completely bowled over by this rendition), and similarly somber and expressive "Vuelvo al sur" by Piazzolla, with its BACH quotation in the intro and the coda. Caetano's style is probably a mismatch for some of the more lighthearted songs (Rumba azul, Capullito de aleli) but is wonderfully effective in Lamento Borincano and La Gorondrina. And which singer without his wonderful falsetto could sing the two-octave leap in "Maria la O"?

In the fifties, she was one of the major competitors to Dalida. She met success in the sixties, with in particular Amour, castagnettes et tango (1955), Etranger au paradis (1956), (a French version of Stranger in paradise by Tony Bennett, which was the first one-million copies record in France, or Buenas noches mi amor (1957), Bon voyage (1958). She was surfing the latino wave of the fifties in France and she was superseded by Dalida. She sought exile in Mexico, and attempted a come back in France in 1985 at Olympia. Married six times, she had a reputation of being a man eater. The kitsch revival of these last few years made her a gay icon.
