Caetano Veloso

[That's Right]

Anybody ever heard of/listen to him? I like him. Or his music rather.

 

[huisache]

superior brazilian singer/songwriter, he is well known in world music circles, less so in US. Go to Youtube to hear a superb version of the old Mexican song cucurucu paloma

O leãozinho

This video is not ummm, cool, or whatever, per se, but the song is. My current roomate used to live with these artsy, musician, carlos casteneda, don juan guys, and i'm convinced that david Spade was wrong and that my roomate actual is the Black Angel of Death, so he didn't fit in with these dudes. They were cool though, and all of them got college scholarships for their voices (and proceeded to piss said scholarships away on shrooms, salvia, cid, and whatever else they could get their artsy hands on (college, right?), and while they weren't the type of dudes i would normally hang out with they were pretty cool, and 2 of the could play and sing "O leãozinho" which is the first Veloso song I heard and it's awesome. It's like, when we'd wake up at that house recovering from the night before that song was like, i dunno, perfect to wake up and

to. Oh, and I'm drunk so this post may make no sense, we'll find out in the morning. Or, later in the morning I should say. It's 4:50. Must wake up at 11:00 for game. Going to bed now.
