Brazilian singer Gal Costa, another pillar of Brazilian popular music, is Moreno Veloso's godmother. Additionally, many of the greats of the Brazilian music scene visited the Veloso household frequently and, therefore, Moreno Veloso grew up surrounded by musicians and much music. This rich environment had a great impact in Moreno Veloso's musical development.
Veloso studied physics at a university but turned instead to musici and singing. In 2000 Moreno Veloso recorded his first album, Máquina de Escrever Música (English: Music Typewriter) but his songwriting debut was much earlier in 1982 with Um Canto de Afoxé para o Bloco Do Ile, a clear reference to African mythology. The Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé, full of rithms and colors, predominant in his native city of São Salvador da Bahia must have had a remarcable impact on his natural talent while he was growing up.
Moreno Veloso's work has been well received far and wide. For example, American singer and band leader Chrissie Hynde, a longtime resident of the city of London, England, has expressed great admiration for his work and even has traveled and performed with him throughout Brazil right after the turn of the millennium. One of Moreno Veloso's music groups was called Moreno Veloso + 2 (composed of Moreno Veloso, Alexandre Kassin and Domênico Lancelotti).

Que é a eterna natureza do prazer transcedental
E sou a base do supremo, absoluto e pessoal
Que é a eterna natureza do prazer transcedental
Eu sou, eu sou,
Transcedental...
In Moreno Veloso's song A Base Do Supremo, the lyrics portray a sense of transcendence and universality. The opening line, "Sou a base do supremo, absoluto e pessoal" translates to "I am the base of the supreme, absolute and personal." This line suggests that the singer sees themselves as a fundamental element of a higher power or truth. The words "supremo" and "absoluto" imply that this higher power is all-encompassing and omnipotent, while the use of "pessoal" suggests that it is also deeply personal and individualistic.
The next line, "Que é a eterna natureza do prazer transcendental," translates to "which is the eternal nature of transcendental pleasure." This line continues the theme of transcendence, suggesting that there is a blissful state beyond the realm of earthly pleasure that the singer aspires to reach. The repetition of these two lines throughout the song creates a mantra-like effect, emphasizing the universality and timelessness of this higher power or state of being.
Overall, the lyrics of A Base Do Supremo convey a sense of spiritual yearning and a belief in a higher power or truth that transcends the individual self.
