Velô

Caetano Veloso

A high-speed collision of Brazilian poetry and 1980s digital funk. Sharp, synth-heavy, and lyrically dense, it reimagines Tropicalia for the neon age.

A hyper-literate, neon-drenched burst of intellectual energy and rhythmic playfulness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition into the proto-rap delivery on Língua where Portuguese becomes a percussive weapon.
The crystalline synth pads on Pulsar that feel like a transmission from a satellite orbiting a beach.
The sharp, jagged electric guitar riffs on Nine Out of Ten that bridge London post-punk with Bahia soul.
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.
