An absolute hero of Brazilian music since the late 1960s, Caetano Veloso has always sung with the fragility of a fallen angel. A form of bittersweet anxiety, of ghostly melancholy, against the grain of the sunny clichés and sugar-coated popular beliefs surrounding Brazilian music. Caetano Veloso's music becomes even more indispensable when his ever-restless voice combines together with an anxiety-inducing period. In Bolsonaro's Brazil and in the midst of lockdown, he created this album of the highest quality, composed solo in his studio in Rio de Janeiro, then recorded with musicians remotely or with a health pass, as Covid permitted. This record is delightful, as complex as it is clear. Maestro Veloso doesn't invent anything, but his songs are incomparably accurate, both in emotion and interpretation. Some have a few guitar chords and others symphonic layers; they all move to a little samba tempo. Each one is a small world, which evokes Brazil and its African or European roots, like on the magnificent fado Você-você, a duet with the Portuguese singer Carminho. There is more than forty years between them, but this song seems to have waited for the singer’s twilight years to emerge as a gift to the singer. Autoacalanto, with his son playing the acoustic guitar, is also to be enjoyed. Veloso was inspired by the babbling of his grandson. This charming family nursery rhyme is like the whole album: a precious gift, the most effective vaccine against the perils of the time. © Stéphane Deschamps/Qobuz
