Nice to hear the great Caetano Veloso on RP! His voice often displays truly miraculous range, and his early works, especially, were incredibly trippy and light-years ahead of their time. Remarkably, he managed to remain true to his heart and dared to express his gifted poetic musical imagination and inspiration throughout the almost biblical trials and tribulations that he suffered, including long stretches of exile, along with so many unfortunate Brazilians under brutal, backward military dictatorship... Bravo, and thanks, RP! More of his stuff on here would be fantastic! Seeing him live was WOW

After reading his biography, I’d love seeing a movie set back in the ‘60s in Brazil, his story peppered with his music.  Little bit like the The Motorcycle Diaries -style.

Easy 10 from Napoli on the Gulf. Caetano is one of the greats from Brazil.  Such control and precision of tone and timbre. Voice of an angel. 

Oooh wow. Divine 

For me a pure 10

You know it's gotta be pretty good when there hasn't been a comment in 13 years. Also, Spanish music by a Portuguese person, interesting!

Yes, besides he's brazilian, this is spanish, not portuguese.

This song seems to be really off on the edges of Eclectic. Next up, the Von Trapp family singers.

Spanish Yanni?

Not that this is his best work, but, it is the only song here! Not quite Doraval Cayimi or Joao Gilberto for overall contribution to music in the world, but Bahia's favorite son of our times for sure. His song, "Terra", is much more representative of his style and work. One more reason to learn Portuguese...
