Transa (1972) is one of Caetano Veloso’s most celebrated albums, recorded while he was in exile in London due to Brazil’s military dictatorship. Blending Brazilian rhythms with roc k, folk, and reggae influences, the album showcases a unique mix of Portuguese and English lyrics, reflecting Caetano’s cultural and emotional experiences abroad. Notable tracks include "You Don’t Know Me", "Triste Bahia", and "Nine Out of Ten"—the latter being one of the first Brazilian songs to reference reggae. Transa is praised for its raw, intimate sound and poetic depth, making it a timeless masterpiece in Brazilian music. Show more
