Circuladô is an album by the Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso.[2][3] It was released in 1991.[4]Circuladô was Veloso's third album to be widely distributed in the United States.[5]
The New York Times praised the "mixture of pointed observation and fatalistic acceptance [that] typifies Mr. Veloso's world view... More than a diarist or a social commentator, at his best he is a true poet."[14]Newsday called "Santa Clara, Padroeira da Televisão" "a stunning, satirical blend of spiritual imagery and media criticism."[8]
The Edmonton Journal wrote that "the music on Circulado takes an impressionistic course that's more quietly experimental, working touches of jazz improvisation among the guitar and percussion lines."[10]The Gazette stated that "there is folk, jazz, samba, bossa nova, new age and funk all rolled into one... Sensuous and seductive, the spirit of tropicalismo is alive and well."[15]
AllMusic wrote that "Itapuã" "is a modern elegy for the beautiful beach, where Veloso is backed by a contemporary arrangement for string quartet and rhythmic section."[12]Stephen Holden, of The New York Times, listed Circuladô as the second best album of 1992.[16]
