AMG Review of Cinema Transcendental
Alvaro Neder
All Music GuideOne of Caetano Veloso's last quasi-acoustic albums, this one is dedicated to Brazilian grooves (with the exception of a couple of eggae tracks). The album has been very well spun, and several tracks were hits: "Lua de Săo Jorge," "Oraçăo ao Tempo," "Badauę" (Bahian grooves), "Cajuína" (Northeastern xote), "Menino do Rio" (pop allad), "Elegia" (olero), "Trilhos Urbanos" (eggae), "Louco por Vocę" (Carioca samba). There are also other tracks whose experimental character prevented them from being hits, but they still constitute excellent material. Delicate and also swinging arrangements, these are excellent compositions by an artist still in full-steam creative impetus.
