Caetano Veloso

February 22nd, 2007

Never heard of him until…

Some weeks ago Theo and I heard in our favourite meeting restaurant ’5′, a song with the most edifying title: cucurucucu. It sounded most horrifying.
Theo tried to persuade me of the fact that he nows this same song in a really wonderfull implementation. I laughed at him and definitely did not believe him. How could this ever sound beautifull.

The other day he proved me wrong. Listen to this.
It is sang by Caetano Veloso in the movie ‘hable con ella’ by Pedro Almodovar. (Have that on DVD. Not seen yet)

Piquant detail: I got this song from the city discotheque where I went on my bicycle this morning. And to be frank, it was lovely weather and good cycling. Even in wintertime in Holland I can do this without freezing to death. Only my ears almost fel off my head.
