Abraçaço

Caetano Veloso

A sharp, minimalist rock record featuring angular guitars and dry drums. Caetano Veloso trades orchestral lushness for a gritty, intellectual power-trio sound.

2012 · Universal Music

A sharp-edged, intellectual meditation that balances cold rock precision with warm human vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
the aggressive, distorted guitar riff that opens A Bossa Nova é foda, subverting the genre's expected softness
the sprawling eight-minute narrative of Um comunista where the rhythm section maintains a hypnotic, steady pulse
the stark, vulnerable silence between the notes on the melancholic track Estou triste
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
