""One of the year's most unforgettable concerts . . ." -- Star Tribune (1999)
Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the greatest songwriters of the century," singer-songwriter Caetano Veloso has virtually defined Brazilian music for 35 years. This cultural icon and musical revolutionary, together with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and a number of other poets and intellectuals, founded the vastly influential 1960s Tropicalismo movement by experimenting with new sounds and words, electric guitars, and the imagery of modern poetry. Backed by a remarkable 9-member band for this much-anticipated concert, Veloso delivers songs from his 30+ releases with the lush orchestration and sophisticated rhythms that are his hallmark. Copresented with Northrop Auditorium.
COMING IN MARCH 2003
