About

Araçá Azul é o quinto álbum de estúdio da carreira solo do cantor e compositor Caetano Veloso, gravado ao longo de uma semana de trabalho em 1972 no Estúdio Eldorado em São Paulo - com Caetano sozinho no estúdio, em companhia de um técnico e seu assistente, sob a chancela do então presidente da PolyGram André Midani - e lançado em janeiro de 1973, pela gravadora Philips Records. Tornou-se um dos discos mais controversos e cultuados da MPB devido ao conteúdo altamente experimental de suas composições – influenciado, em parte, pela poética de invenção dos poetas concretistas paulistanos. O disco obteve um número recorde de devoluções quando de seu lançamento.[.
