CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Credited to Veloso and issued in the U.S. on the heels of his excellent Livro, Orfeu is actually the Veloso-supervised soundtrack of Brazilian director Carlos Diegues's version of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. The music includes remakes of songs from the 1959 Black Orpheus and new tunes by Veloso and rapper Gabriel O Pensador, along with lovely score excerpts that fill about half the CD's playing time. Focusing heavily on life in the country's slums, the film's concept is a perfect vehicle for Veloso's passionate, hyper-intelligent mind; Orfeu the album is certain to whet listeners' appetites for the picture itself, due for American release later in 2000. Until then, stateside fans of Brazilian pop have another beautiful, challenging record to add to their collections. --Rickey Wright Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsHistory re-written jeffinho_branco | Los Angeles, CA United States | 06/14/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Who else but Caetano Veloso--the national treasure of Brazil--to record the soundtrack to the re-make of the film that introduced bossa nova to the world in 1959? Caetano's sense of phrasing, arrangement and placement is, as always, genius. Buy the new movie if you can, buy the original, buy this soundtrack, and buy the original soundtrack and own pieces of musical--and cinematic--history."
