Live At Carnegie Hall

Back in ’04, celebrated Brazilian tunesmith Caetano Veloso was invited to curate his own Perspective series at the Carnegie Hall and he invited his long-time friend and collaborator David Byrne to join him for a very special show. Strangely, it has only now made its way onto CD. Serving as an excellent introduction to both the former trail-blazer of the ‘60s Tropicalia scene, and to the ex-Talking Heads member’s latter day career, a sense of fun and mutual affection oozes from the performance. The concert features seven songs by the South American, six by the Scottish/Canadian and five of them are played together. Long-time fans will be thrilled to hear the duo swap languages on ‘Dreamworld: Marco De Canaveses’ and both world music aficionados and affirmed Byrne acolytes will love their take on the likes of ‘The Revolution.’ Good stuff.
