  • Caetano Veloso As Guest Director, 2011 Telluride Film Festival Gets Under Way

    The 38th Telluride Film Festival gets under way today, with Caetano Veloso as its Guest Director. Tom Luddy, Co-Founder of the Festival, says: "Caetano Veloso will be presenting six films, both rare and established classics, with his unique enthusiasm about why they are movies worth seeing again or for the first time." In addition, the festival's program includes 25 new feature films plus special artist tributes, classics and restorations, shorts, student films, seminars and conversations, each introduced or proceeded with a Q&A by its filmmaker, actors, writer, or producer.

About this Album

Caetano Veloso's Nonesuch CD catalog is now available from the Nonesuch Store; however, free album MP3 downloads, available with other discs in the Store, are not yet included with these CDs.

Celebrating 25 years of artistic/personal friendship, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, two South American legends, channel the anything-goes spirit of the mid-'60s Tropicália movement they spearheaded into a set that Rolling Stone says, represents "Brazil's two 50-something songwriting giants at the peak of their powers."
