Product Description

CD Description
With this 1994 release Caetano Veloso pays tribute to many of the most renowned Latin American songwriters, such as Argentina's Astor Piazolla and Cuba's Armando Orefiche. His Spanish singing is sublime, and many of his interpretations andarrangements breathe new life into these classic songs. Some selections here feature slick production and elaborate instrumentation, such as the horn sections incorporated into "Capullito de Aleli" and "Tonada de Luna Llena"; however "Maria Bonita" features Veloso singing solo with just an acousticguitar accompaniment.
Perhaps because it displays his reverence for tradition while still expressing his individuality, FINA ESTAMPA is one of Veloso's more successful '90s releases. Although something of a departure from TROPICALIA 2 and the other records immediately preceding it, predictability is hardly par for the course with Caetano Veloso.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and tender record, 7 April 2005
By D. S. Smith "duncanssmith" (London England) - See all my reviews

If you have not yet heard Caetano Veloso, this is a great place to start. His beautiful songs and vocals are simply gorgeous. If you enjoy gentle bossanova rhythms combined with a soft, gentle and emotionally resonant voice, go for this.

5.0 out of 5 stars out of the blue, 8 Sep 2004
By M. A. Dicker "doghousemusic" (Bridport Dorset) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this album a few months ago on the strength of one song and it has been constantly played ever since.This man has a beautiful voice and although I don't understand many of the lyrics the feeling and emotion of each song comes across. If you get the chance listen to Tonada de Luna Llena it will make the hairs stand up on your neck.

5.0 out of 5 stars the man from Bahia, 7 Jan 2005
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
One of Brazil's best songwriters, Caetano Veloso on this CD plays homage to other Latin American composers, mostly from the distant past and all in Spanish, with great songs from Ernesto Lequona ("Maria La O", Cuba, 1931), Agustin Lara ("Maria Bonita", Mexico, 1941), Chabuca Granda ("Fina Estampa", Peru, 1956), and 12 others, ranging from 1860 with "La Golondrina" to the most recent, Astor Piazzolla's 1988 "Vuelvo Al Sur".

With his high, pure voice, which has a lovely, subtle vibrato, Caetano sings like a smooth caress, in a style that is at once sophisticated and sweet. The musical arrangements are also soft and gentle, and I especially like the ones that include the cello of Jacques Morelenbaum.
Veloso, born in Bahia in 1942, was part of the Bossa Nova craze that hit America in the mid '60s, started by Joao and Astrud Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim among others. Still going strong, Veloso won a Latin Grammy in 2003, and was part of the marvelous soundtrack of the 2002 film "Frida".

Full of romance, this is a perfect CD for those candlelit dinners; the only lively number is "Capullito de Aleli", which is delightful, and will make those who remember the cha-cha-cha want to get up and dance. One of my favorites is a song so familiar to me from childhood, "Pecado", that Veloso gives a whole new spin to...it is innovative and beautiful, and another is the fascinating "Tornada de Luna Llena". The booklet insert lists the musicians and includes the lyrics, the sound is excellent, and total playing time is 51'55.

With a sack full of Caetano CDs gathered from regular trips to Brazil I have to say that even though his voice is consistently brilliant the songs can be a bit hit and miss. Read more
