"Caetano Veloso is one of the greatest songwriters of the century: a master melodist, a lyricist who merges surreal imagery with a sense of history and a sense of humor, a singer whose voice radiates tenderness and supple swing and a musician who connects to traditional music, pop and jazz from all over."
-The New York Times

Caetano Veloso will open the award-winning Greek Theatre's 2010 season on Thursday, April 15.

Caetano Veloso is among the most influential and beloved artists to emerge from Brazil. Known there since the 1960's, Veloso has made more than thirty recordings to date and has developed a strong international following. Born in Santo Amaro, Bahia, in 1942, Caetano Veloso began his professional musical career in 1965 in Sao Paulo. In his first compositions he drew on the bossa novas of Joao Gilberto, but rapidly began to develop his own distinctive style. Absorbing musical and aesthetic ideas from sources as diverse as The Beatles, concrete poetry, the French Dadaists and the Brazilian modernist poets of the 1920s, Caetano, together with Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, his sister Maria Bethania, and a number of other poets and intellectuals, founded a movement called Tropicalismo. By experimenting with new sounds and words, adding electric guitars to their bands and utilizing the imagery of modern poetry, Caetano became a musical revolutionary.

Although Tropicalismo set the tone for Caetano's career, his music has evolved greatly over the years. Incorporating elements of rock, reggae, fado, tango, samba canao, baiao and rap-- with lyrics containing some of the best poetry in a musical tradition rich in verse-- Caetano's music is sometimes traditional, sometimes contemporary, often hybrid. At once an astute social commentator and balladeer of highly emotive love songs, Caetano is one of the most respected poets in the Portuguese language. Indeed he is one of only a handful of artists who has resolved how to be musically modern and still undeniably Brazilian.

The most successful French musical outfit of all time, Gipsy Kings, are set to return to the Greek Theatre on Sunday, July 18.

Over the years, the Gipsy Kings-who hail from the gypsy settlements in Arles and Montpelier in the south of France-have included singers and guitarists from the Reyes and Baliardo families. Lead singer Nicolas Reyes is the son of famed Flamenco singer José Reyes.  As a result, the band's vigorous guitar work and passionate vocals are highly influenced by the indigenous musical tradition known as rumba flamenca.

The Gipsy Kings have won a global audience over purely by the music and the big, welcoming soulfulness of its creators.  Since the 1987 release of the international hit single "Bamboleo," the Gipsy Kings have sold more than 14 million albums worldwide with more than four million in the United States alone. They are one of the most popular non-English performing groups in the states where their recordings and live performances continue to earn critical and popular praise.

Over two decades into their career, the Gipsy Kings' sound continues to evolve and remains vital.  The group has released 15 albums with Pasajero as their most recent.  The Gipsy Kings continue to showcase how they make music as communion with artistry rooted in the past yet focused on the future.]]> http://www.nederlanderconcerts.com/data/shows/1753.jpg
