Tom Zé ‎– Estudando O Samba (1976) 2019 VMP reissue (Ltd. 500), Mr. Bongo Records

This is unlike any samba record you’ll ever hear.  If John Cage and Captain Beefheart took a stab at completely deconstructing and rebuilding traditional Brasilian musical idioms, they wouldn’t sound nearly as good as “Estudando O Samba” 

David Byrne (Talking Heads) found this album during a trip to Brasil in ‘86.  The rather unique cover art is what drew him in. The liner notes describe it as “what looks like a coiled electric cable meandering its way around barbed wire” Byrne’s curiousity about this record led him to dig deeper, leading to a Tom Zé compilation which introduced his music to a much wider audience.

Tom Zé was working at a relative’s auto garage before he was plucked from obscurity.   Music. Is. AWESOME.

Somos isso que todos vêem, não um casal perfeito, não o casal mais fofo, não o casal modelo, é isso entende ? Essa confusão mesmo, essa tolice mesmo, essas brincadeiras mesmo, parecemos amantes incontroláveis, namorados apaixonados, e dois irmãos babacas. Somos essa mistura gostosa de tudo que parece certo e errado, a gente é a gente, e eu amo a gente
