Album description:
Tom Ze was the most daring of the founding members of Tropicalia, the political art and music movement that emerged from Brazil in the late 60's. Over-the-top pop bossa nova that transitioned into rock became the group's signature sound. Ze pursued catchy sambas rife with cleverly subversive lyrics and innovative instrumentation into the late 70's, expanding on his Dadaist ideas and experimenting with noise and homemade instruments. His fearlessness pushed him to the edge of obscurity until Luaka Bop released a "best of" Ze's recordings in the US in 1990, thereby reinvigorating interest in his music. This release is musically daring and danceable, with observations on human nature and sexual politics that are hilariously wry. The album has already been nominated for a Latin Grammy. "One of avant-pop's great musical minds..." - Entertainment Weekly. "...brilliantly bizarre, creative, and intellectual" - The Fader.
