Caetano Veloso will bring the young Brazilian rock band with whom he recorded Cê—released earlier this year by Nonesuch—on an 11-city North American tour beginning Nov. 2. The record includes 12 original songs by Veloso (vocals, nylon and steel guitars), recorded in the spring/summer of 2006 with Pedro Sá (electric guitar), Ricardo Dias Gomes (bass, Rhodes piano), and Marcelo Callado (drums). It was produced by Sá and Moreno Veloso. Additionally, Pedro’s brother, Jonas Sá, sings guest vocals on one track.
“Pedro and Moreno are my sons—the latter, biologically speaking, and both in the familiar sense of the term,” Veloso said. “They are both in their 30s, have a vivid relationship with the routes taken by musical taste in the last decades—as well as making remarkable personal interventions on the direction of these routes. Ricardo Dias Gomes and Marcello Callado are in their 20s. It was Pedro who suggested their names when he heard my themes and my ideas. Our communication was so clear that in a few minutes of rehearsal, the tracks were ready to be recorded. All of them. Not even one got stuck. We recorded everything on two-inch tape, without Pro Tools.”
Veloso’s tour dates are as follows:
Nov. 2: Orpheum Theatre, Boston
Nov. 4: Lisner Auditorium, Washington, D.C.
Nov. 7: Memorial Hall, Chapel Hill, N.C.
Nov. 9: Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Nov. 11: Massey Hall, Toronto
Nov. 14: Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Pasadena, Calif.
Nov. 16: Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, Calif.
Nov. 17: Nob Hill Masonic Center, San Francisco
Nov. 19-20: Nokia Theater, New York
Nov. 23: Carol Morsani Hall, Tampa Bay, Fla.
Nov. 24: Gusman Center For The Performing Arts, Miami
