This is the first studio album from Caetano Veloso since bad diagnosis in 1993. This thirteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Caetano Veloso has. Jim Jones has compared writing for Caetano Veloso’s new album to that on ‘Tropicalia 2′ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Tropicalia 2 is the best essence of Caetano Veloso.
Rap Popcreto is one of these floating songs. Wait Until Tomorrow marked the continuation of Caetano Veloso in style evolution. Don’t judge Nossa Gente (Avisa L on the first listening. Cada Macaco No Seu Galho (Chhu to me is the best you can get from Caetano Veloso. A fantastic track full of wonder. This track is clearly meant to showcase Caetano Veloso’s vocal abilities. Dada motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. One listen to the sheer beauty of Cinema Novo was all I needed. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Tradic is my favorite song on Tropicalia 2. Some of the arrangements found on Tropicalia 2 are surprisingly edgy. Haiti (4:19) - awsome.
