If you have developed an interest in Caetano Veloso that goes beyond nominal,
you really should own every record of his you can find. However, for the
benighted who only want a taste, this is the best place to start. Translated,
the title means without handkerchief without passport, and while its unclear
what relevance that has, it is clear that you will not find a better single-disc
overview of Velosos prodigious output -- that is, up until 1984. Opening with
the most famous song from his early period (1968s Alegria, Alegria -- with
fuzztone psychedelic guitars!), this disc covers the best music from his long
relationship with Phillips including Soy Loco por Ti, America (written by
Gilberto Gil), Voce e Linda, Lua de Sao Jorge, and 15 more. Although hes
recorded much great music after 1984, this is the best place to start.
Originally available only as a Brazilian import, the disc has since been
released in American with more comprehensive English liner notes.~John Dougan
