"Caetano Veloso is one of the most important figures in contemporary Brazilian music. His works, poetic and polemic, are considered true masterpieces. As Caetano says, "I make my records as a painter would paint his canvas". In fact, he makes every melody he sings sound luminous and newly discovered.
Caetano Veloso was born in a small town in the northern state of Bahia in 1942. Soon after his family moved to Salvador, where he spent his youth and studied at the University of Arts.

At the end of 1966 he accompanied his sister Maria Bethania, who had been invited to play at a musical play, to Rio do Janeiro and he got his first hits when his sister recorded his first compositions. Soon he won several prizes and recorded his first album with Gal Costa "Domingo"

In 1968, with Gilberto Gil, he was one of the primary architects of Tropicalismo, a cultural movement whose aim was the reevaluation of traditional Brazilian music and the incorporation of non-Brazilian musical styles."
