Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary Tropic谩lia pioneer continues his evolution with a deeply introspective, acoustic-leaning effort. 'Caetano' strips back some of the polished pop production of his mid-eighties output, focusing instead on masterful acoustic guitar work and highly poetic lyricism. The record eloquently bridges traditional Brazilian songwriting with sophisticated art-pop sensibilities.
