The author of some 30-odd albums, Brazilian rock star Caetano Veloso has hardly given an inch since he first emerged as a leading light of the Tropicália movement, along with Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, and Os Mutantes. Early albums like Caetano Veloso and Transa are classic psychedelic pop, though Veloso is too restlessly creative to settle into any one groove for long — indulging everything from chamber music to electronica on his '80s and '90s albums. His latest, a rocker entitled Cê, is as charged-up as anything released this year, and should go a long way toward winning over new devotees. (Devendra Banhart, in particular, has been vocal in his admiration for the artist).
