Description
Incredibly unique concept album from the one and only, Tom Ze 769;. As featured in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Brazilian Albums of all-time list (2007).
One of Ze's finest albums in our opinion, originally released by Continental
Brazil in 1976 – a tough one to find at a good price in its original form now.
'Estudando do Samba' (or 'Studying The Samba') is a post-Tropicalia studio
experimentation laiden with layers of hypnotic percussion, effects & samples
that deconstructs the 'samba' form. Recorded during what was arguably his most creative period.
David Byrne found the record in Rio in the late 90's and included several songs
on his Tom Ze collection for Luaka Bop a few years later. At that time Tom was
not recording or touring much; playing low-key shows in Sao Paulo and
contemplating a move back to Irara 769; to work at a service station owned by one of his cousins. Byrne's project helped to reignite his career and he hasn't looked back since.
