极 颜 - [爵士/巴萨诺瓦 98 期] 卡耶塔诺·维洛索 Caetano Veloso - Greatest Hits 精选：巴西音乐的诗与革命 的评论
热带主义的炼金术士：一位用吉他写诗的巴西国宝歌手简介卡耶塔诺·维洛索（Caetano Veloso，1942年8月7日－）是巴西最伟大的词曲作者、诗人和文化偶像之一，被誉为“巴西的鲍勃·迪伦”。...
He's not just a musician, he's Brazil's collective consciousness. Listen to "Terra" and you'll understand what it means to love a country that is both beautiful and broken.
1967年听到《Alegria, Alegria》的巴西年轻人，应该像被闪电击中吧？把摇滚、桑巴和超现实诗歌混在一起，还挑战军政府。Caetano生来就是革命者。
His version of "Cucurrucucú Paloma" in Almodóvar's film made me cry before I even understood the words. His voice transcends language. Pure emotion.
生在巴伊亚的人，天生就有那种音乐感。Caetano的吉他声一响，我就想起童年时祖母哼唱的旋律。他把传统变成了现代，但根还在那里。
"Você é Linda" is the most honest love song I've ever heard. No grand metaphors, no poetry. Just "you are beautiful." But the way he sings it... it's everything.
1969年被捕流放那段历史，现在读来依然心惊。他用音乐对抗独裁，用温柔包裹锋芒。《Podres Poderes》里的愤怒，是沉默后的惊雷。
The way he sings "Sampa" about São Paulo... that city is chaos and concrete and ugliness, but he finds the beauty in it. "You are the mirror of my soul."
他的吉他不是伴奏，是第二层声音。听《O Leãozinho》里那些简单的分解和弦，和他的人声交织，像阳光透过树叶洒下来。
Discovered Caetano through this article. "Terra" is blowing my mind. Singing about the Big Bang and personal love in the same song? That's genius.
Caetano的声音里有种奇特的温柔，即使在批判腐朽权力时也像在朗诵情诗。《Alegria, Alegria》里那些关于可口可乐和电视明星的歌词，现在听来依然锋利。
