In episode #25 we discuss the making of Caetano Veloso's album "Transa" released in January 1972. This is his second album recorded in London, while in exile following his prison by the military regime in Brazil. However, unlike the obvious sadness of Caetano's self-title LP of 1971 (Brazuca Sounds #17), Transa is the culmination of all his new influences living abroad. The reggae on Portobello Road, "waking up and singing an old, old Beatles song", or a tagline of a famous soap commercial. Caetano Veloso was ready to heal his wounds, and also ready to make his way back to Bahia, and he decided to leave behind what might be considered his album masterpiece.
