Caetano Veloso: Influences
Apple Music
Brazil's preeminent Tropicálista is a smooth crooner on a par with Sinatra and embodies a mosaic of influences from home and abroad. While Veloso is a devoted protégé of bossa-nova master João Gilberto, his late-‘60s music reflected The Beatles’ psychedelic experimentalism even more, with Portuguese lyrics rivalling Bob Dylan's in poetic intensity.
