Editing Caetano Veloso (section)

=== Musical career (1972–present) ===
Veloso's work upon his return in 1972 was often characterized by frequent merging not only of international styles but of Brazilian folkloric styles and rhythms as well. His popularity grew outside Brazil in the 1980s, especially in Greece, Portugal, France, and Africa. His records released in the United States, such as ''[[Estrangeiro]]'', helped gain him a larger audience.
