This review is from: Outras Palavras (Audio CD)

This was my introduction to Caetano and as an 17 year old at the time I found it alluring in the same way I found david Bowie's 70s music intriguing: The androgyny and freedom of the music's infleunces challenged my ears immediatley. I went out and bought the cassette shortly thereafter knowing full well this would be music I would revisit later in my life. Now that I'm in my 30s and Caetano's profile has risen substantially since then--I still feel this is (for the period and for those who are inclined to hear some of the more Luaka-Bop esque sounds from Caetano)a brilliant release. My favorites are the title song and Rapte Me Camaleoa. However, to my ears Lua E Estrela is not only the albums highpoint but is the single most moving piece of music Caetano has ever created. That track has haunting Nick Drake elements. Overall the CD's only weakness is it's production and some lite jazz rock elements that need to be ignored.
