Caetano Veloso and David Byrne, live album

A good album released this month is actually a 2004 live recording: "Caetano Veloso and David Byrne – Live at Carnegie Hall". Caetano Veloso‘s performance with David Byrne on the new album, Live at Carnegie Hall, is a mindblowing collaboration. The album is presented as three acts: two solo performances, followed by a collaboration between the two distinguished artists. Veloso opens the album with a set of songs. Of these, “Coração Vagabundo” stands out with its haunting guitar and violin tag at the end of the chorus. Byrne then follows , including his Latin-influenced “God’s Child”. His set also included an acoustic version of “Life During Wartime”, which works quite well, as does the staccato guitar arrangement on “Road To Nowhere”. The collaborative songs are a joy, especially "Dreamworld: Marco de Canaveses”, which has a cool, bossa nova rhythm. Worth checking out.
