Estrangeiro – Caetano Veloso – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1989, ‘Estrangeiro’ marks a pivotal moment in Caetano Veloso’s storied career, capturing the tension and beauty of cultural hybridity. Here, Veloso—one of Brazil’s most daring songwriters—melds his Tropicalia heritage with avant-garde production touches courtesy of Arto Lindsay and Peter Scherer. The album’s title, meaning ‘foreigner,’ is a fitting metaphor for Veloso’s restless curiosity, as he traverses bossa nova, samba, jazz, and even subtle electronic textures. Songs like ‘Meia-Lua Inteira’ and the haunting title track are both deeply rooted and startlingly modern, reflecting Brazil’s political realities and Veloso’s own sense of displacement and renewal after years of exile. ‘Estrangeiro’ is not merely a collection of songs, but a deeply personal statement on identity, belonging, and the power of cross-cultural dialogue. For listeners who crave artistry that challenges boundaries while honoring tradition, this album is a vital document—one that rewards every spin with fresh insight and emotional resonance. Add ‘Estrangeiro’ to your collection and experience a landmark work from one of music’s most innovative voices.
