Caetano Veloso's a Foreign Sound
Angebote / Angebote:
33 1/3 Brazil is the first strand of the new 33 1/3 World series. Inspired by the original 33 1/3 series, each book in this strand focuses on a specific Brazilian album or artist. What makes a song sound foreign? What makes it sound "American, " or Brazilian? Caetano Veloso's 2004 American songbook album, A Foreign Sound, is a meditation on these questions--but in truth, they were questions he'd been asking throughout his career. Properly heard, the album throws a wrench into received ideas regarding the global hegemony of US popular music, and also what constitutes the Brazilian sound. This book takes listeners back through some of Veloso's earlier considerations of American popular music, and forward to his more recent experiments, in order to explore his take on the relationship between US and Brazilian musical idioms.
