Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Transa is a 1972 album by Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso. Like its predecessor, it was recorded while the artist was exiled in London, though he returned to Brazil shortly after completing it.
Caetano calls it "one of my favorite records", feeling that it reaches a level of musicianship he was unable to achieve on previous albums. It also proved popular with the Brazilian public, due partly to its inclusion of a new version of the old samba "Mora na filosofia", originally by Monsueto Menezes. It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 10 best Brazilian albums in history. Its success would set up the failure of the much more unconventional followup, Araçá azul.
