Rebelling against the Elvis-based, American-imported rock scene in
late '60s Brazil, Caetano Veloso suffused lyrical Brazilian
folksongs with fuzz guitar, avant-jazz, and electronic music-and in
doing so blew apart the status quo of Brazilian culture. Caetano
and the movement he catalyzed, "tropicalia," urged an adoption of
personal freedom in politics, music, and lifestyle. His
"rabble-rousing," as the government saw it, would get Caetano and
his comrade Gilberto Gil arrested and exiled to London to wait out
the military dictatorship. His fame increasing by the year, Caetano
focused on writing songs about his homeland, returning to Brazil as
a national hero-a mantle he still wears today. His most recent
album, "Live in Bahia," was released to international critical and
popular acclaim.
