Listener Reviews & Comments Caetano Veloso is like wine, the older the better. This album recorded throught his latest show - Prenda Minha - is a confirmation that Caetano is essencial the best in Brazilian comtemporary popular music. His new arrangements and interpretation of old and new songs are superb, and with a great team of musicians, he makes this one of his finest moments in his career. I have been his fan for years and I am delighted to attend his latest show in New York and DC and to listen to the album over and over again. His music is universal, being at the same time the best translation of several forms os brazilian music. His style is innovative and uplifting, with lots of carisma and intensity. For someone who would like to be introduced to his music I strongly recommend this album.
