Reissue of the long unavailable 1972 recording by the influential CAETANO VELOSO, considered the leading figure in Brazil’s Tropicália movement. TRANSA marks Veloso’sfourth album and like its predecessor, it was recorded while he was exiled in London. Caetano himself considers it one of his favorite records, and regards “Nine Out of Ten” as his best song in English.
