Cinema Transcendental is an album by Brazilian singer and composer Caetano Veloso, released in 1979. Some of the album tracks were hits in Brazil, such as "Lua de São Jorge", "Oração ao Tempo", and "Beleza Pura".[2]
Background
This album is the second collaboration with Veloso's regular band, A Outra Banda da Terra ("Another Band of the Earth"), and the track "Aracaju" was co-written with members of the band. The song "Vampiro (Vampire)" is a cover of Jorge Mautner (Portuguese version)[4]; Veloso reportedly first encountered Mautner in London during his exile in 1969 and was deeply impressed by this song.[5] Notably, Veloso and Mautner's 2002 collaborative album Eu Não Peço Desculpa includes a self-cover of the track "Cajuína," which also appears on this album.[6]
The Japanese SHM-CD edition released in 2012 (UICY-94818) includes a bonus track, "Massa Heróica," originally released as a single in December 1979.[7]
