Reviews
'In addition to a very well researched and carefully footnoted volume, the reader gets forty-two marvelous pages of love song analysis, a subject to which not engouh musicological schoarship has been dedicated... [Leu's] interpretation and translations of, and sensitivity to, some of Brazil's best poetry, its popular music lyrics, are highly commendable and beautiful in their own right. Leu has set a new, higher standard for English language interpretations of this magnificent cultural treasure trove.' Notes ...I was greatly engaged by Leu's analyses of Veloso's work itself... Anyone interested in Caetano Veloso's music will be inspired by Leu's interpretations of his work. Ethnomusicology There are excellent discussions of some of Veloso's key songs... a useful exploration of a musical figure who grows in stature both in his homeland and abroad.
