"Caetano Veloso is one of the most inventive and innovative Brazilian
musicians of all times...from the revolutionary Tropicalismo of the
late 60's to today. His shows are art and and a great unforgettable
music experience..."

Caetano Veloso will open the award-winning Greek Theatre’s 2010 season
on Thursday, April 15.
Caetano Veloso is among the most influential and beloved artists to
emerge from Brazil. Known there since the 1960’s, Veloso has made more
than thirty recordings to date and has developed a strong
international following. Born in Santo Amaro, Bahia, in 1942, Caetano
Veloso began his professional musical career in 1965 in Sao Paulo. In
his first compositions he drew on the bossa novas of Joao Gilberto,
but rapidly began to develop his own distinctive style. Absorbing
musical and aesthetic ideas from sources as diverse as The Beatles,
concrete poetry, the French Dadaists and the Brazilian modernist poets
of the 1920s, Caetano, together with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, his
sister Maria Bethania, and a number of other poets and intellectuals,
founded a movement called Tropicalismo. By experimenting with new
sounds and words, adding electric guitars to their bands and utilizing
the imagery of modern poetry, Caetano became a musical revolutionary.
