Rolling Stone Brazil has released its list of the 100 Best Brazilian Records of all time, and Caetano Veloso, with four records on the list, is among the artists garnering the most mentions. Earning the No. 2 slot on the album list is Tropicália or Panis et Circencis, the seminal 1968 album that introduced Veloso and Gilberto Gil as "artists searching for a universal language" to the world outside Brazil. Transa, which Caetano recorded during his exile in England in 1972, closes out the top 10. Veloso kicks off a North American tour in Boston on November 2.

Rolling Stone Brazil has just released its list of the 100 Best Brazilian Records of all time, and Caetano Veloso, with four records on the list, is among the artists garnering the most mentions. Earning the second slot on the album list (after Novos Baianos's Acabou Chorare) is Tropicália or Panis et Circencis, the seminal 1968 album that introduced Caetano and Gilberto Gil as "artists searching for a universal language" to the world outside Brazil, and, ultimately, led to difficulties with the country's authoritarian regime. Transa, which Caetano recorded during his exile in England in 1972, closes out the top 10.

The list was compiled from responses by 60 Brazilian music experts asked to list the 20 best Brazilian albums, in no particular order, based on historical relevance and artistic influence.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
