four years ago, Caetano Veloso briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Na Baixa Do Sapateiro (In Baixa Do Sapateiro)”. This album has some very good songs like Pra Ninguem (For No One) and Na Baixa Do Sapateiro (In Baixa Do Sapateiro). Caetano Veloso’s debut, ‘Livro’, does not fit easily into one genre. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
gives taste of what makes Caetano Veloso special as a musician.
Caetano Veloso breathes new life into the music in Na Baixa Do Sapateiro (In Baixa Do Sapateiro). |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. I like the idea behind NEnche. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Music in O Navio Negreiro (The Slave Ship) (Excerto) [Excerpt] is perfect as in all tracks of Livro. Caetano Veloso must have run out of lyrics on the next track Um Tom. Caetano Veloso sings his heart out in How Beautiful a Being Could Be. Doideca good vocals. Voce E Minha (You Are Mine) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Manhata (Para Lulu Santos) (For Lulu Santos) is beautiful, yet underrated track. Music of Onde O Rio E Mais Baiano (Where Rio Is Most Bahian) is gentle, never overbearing. Such hits like Os Passistas (Carnaval Dancers) will leave you hooked. Livros (Books) is so unique, as each one of the songs is.
