If you’re a fan of bossa nova and MPB, there’s a high chance you’ll geek out when you read this: Living legend Caetano Veloso will be in town this Tuesday 20, performing at The Fillmore (Jackie Gleason Theatre). The melancholic Brazilian crooner will be performing rock-ish bossa ballads off his 41st (yes, 41st) album, titled Zii e Zie.
Since his first release in 1967, Veloso has remained a consistent hit-maker in his enormous, culturally diverse home country. His musical breadth rivals that of Frank Zappa, and as a poet, Veloso is adored for his lyrics by Brazilians the way Americans love Allen Ginsburg, another passionate and witty observer of modern life. At the same time, Veloso is mainstream — a bossa nova man who went psychedelic and came back. While other pop icons of the ’60s and ’70s have passed into obscurity, or the great beyond, Veloso — gracefully aged but still hip — continues to produce new music.
