Belô Velloso - É D'Oxum

http://www.mhznetworks.org
Show 2004 - Washington, DC - USA


The New York Times - By Jon Pareles - January 29, 1999.
"Um Segundo" (Velas, Brazilian import). This young Brazilian singer brings a warm, guileless voice to immaculately graceful pop. The album's dozen pop songs touch on Brazilian styles like bossa nova, forro and pagode samba, and bring a Brazilian subtlety to borrowings from reggae, salsa, funk and nuevo flamenco. The arrangements maintain a light touch while Ms. Velloso caresses the melodies, making the songs seem to come straight from the heart."

The New York Times - By Jon Pareles - February 4, 1999.
"Elis Regina, who died in 1982 of a drug overdose, was Brazil's Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Linda Ronstadt rolled into one. She discovered and encouraged the finest songwriters in Brazilian popular music, and she taught the next generations of singers the combination of lightness and sensuality, supple rhythms and melting emotion, that has shaped singers like Gal Costa, Marisa Monte and Belo Velloso."

The New York Times - By Jon Pareles - October 14, 2004.
"Belo Velloso, the niece of the Brazilian songwriter Caetano Veloso, has a supple, airy voice that can caress a melody even when it rides a swaggering sambareggae beat. Many of her songs were about the state where she grew up, Bahia, and as her voice paid tender tribute to landmarks and cultural legacies, she also danced and shimmied the samba, despite her high heels."

The New York Times - By Choire Sicha - October 10, 2005.
"Belo Velloso is something of a hybrid torch, show-tune singer: decidedly Brazilian."

English: Belô Velloso is the niece of two of Brazil's most popular musicians, Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia, so it is not surprising that she was raised in a musical environment. As a child in the state of Bahia, the Brazilian region with the most profound African cultural influences, Belô was exposed firsthand to the work of some of the greatest names in MPB, or popular Brazilian music, as well as samba, bossa nova and other traditional Brazilian styles. She moved to Rio at the age of 19 to pursue a career in music, and was helped by her famous aunt and uncle through guest appearances on her first album.


Spanish . Español: Belô Velloso es sobrina de dos de los músicos más populares de Brasil, Caetano Veloso y Maria Bethânia, por lo que no sorprende que haya crecido en un ambiente musical. Nacida en el estado de Bahía, la región brasileña que recibió la mayor influencia de la cultura africana, Belô vivió de cerca el trabajo de algunos de los grandes nombres de la MPB, la Música Popular Brasileña, como así también del samba, la bossa nova y de otros géneros tradicionales del Brasil. Se mudó a Río de Janeiro a los 19 años para emprender su carrera musical, y contó con el respaldo de sus famosos tíos, quienes participaron en su álbum debut.


French . Français: Belô Velloso est la nièce de deux musiciens les plus populaires du Brésil: Caetano Veloso et Maria Bethânia. Ainsi il n'est pas surprenant que ses jeunes années aient été baignées de musique. Pendant son enfance passée dans l'état de Bahia, région du Brésil où les influences culturelles africaines sont les plus profondément ancrées, Belô a en tout premier lieu été exposée à l'oeuvre de certains des plus grands noms de la MPB (Musique Populaire Brésilienne), ainsi qu'a la samba, la bossa nova et autres styles brésiliens traditionnels. Elle s'installe à Rio à l'age de dix-neuf ans pour y poursuivre une carrière musicale, aidée par ses célèbres oncles et tantes, qui participèrent à son premier album.
