Estudando O Samba

Limited vinyl LP-only repressing of this 1976 album from the legendary Brazilian musician. Tom Ze began his career together with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and Maria Bethenia. As a composer, he influenced Caetano and many others and delivered an expressive body of work through his own discography. A restless thinker, he was adept at modern erudite music experimentations, yet he was always ignored by both industry and audiences until he was discovered by David Byrne. He can be better understood through his self-coined definition: 'I don't make art, I make spoken and sung journalism.'
