Essential releases by Caetano Veloso - Highly subjective, incomplete and in no particular order!

Livro
Estrangeiro
Uns
Cores e Nomes
Circulado
Circulado Ao Vivo
Prenda Minha
Tropicalia 2 (com o Gilberto Gil)
Cinema Transcendental
Outras Palavras

Yikes, just buy 'em all! Caetano is truly God's own muse! ...and in his beauty, he probably wouldn't mind "musa" - The mulatto from Bahia can't possibly imagine the musical pleasure which he has provided this gringo!!!

Rede Globo Special 23-12-2011

http://youtu.be/bXIExu-WPu0What a great special and Christmas gift! Caetano and Gil are still more hip in their seventies than any 20 year old and Ivete Sangalo proves that she is so much more than merely the latest axe' diva. The baianos give the royal treatment to tunes by Chico Buarque, Caetano, Gil and others. This is 70 minutes of pure bliss! The link allows one to watch the show in its entirety! Que maravilha!!!
