Caetano Veloso to Be Celebrated As 2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year
Caetano Veloso, an eight-time Latin Grammy winner and two-time Grammy winner, will be celebrated as the 2012 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year on November 14 in Las Vegas. Songs from Veloso's catalog will be performed by an array of artists and friends of the honoree. A portion of the net proceeds from the gala will benefit Veloso's chosen charity, Fundación Viva Cazuza in Brazil—a not-for-profit HIV prevention and treatment organization for children and young people—as well as The Latin Recording Academy's outreach and education programs. The celebration will precede the XIII Annual Latin Grammy Awards, which will take place on November 15.

**** —Rolling Stone
"It is amusing to watch North American journalists try to describe Caetano Veloso by analogy and in comparison to local models. The Bob Dylan of Brazil doesn’t quite fit, because despite his also being a poetic composer, Caetano’s voice and melodic invention are profoundly beautiful, and his arrangements are often radical at the same time. Neil Young doesn’t match either, despite the ethereal and wistful similarities. Harmonically the inventiveness rivals Lennon and McCartney, but perhaps this comparison is unfair, because Veloso is still evolving and mutating, and part of that other partnership is long gone. Hybrids? Leonard Cohen + Gil Evans? Serge Gainsbourg + Bowie? Stevie Wonder? Cole Porter + Marvin Gaye? The fact is there just aren’t any parallels."
