Chico Buarque comprises a critical appreciation of the self-titled
album (1978), which is one of the Brazilian artist’s most
representative. This vibrant collection displays the
singer-songwriter’s singular talents as a composer/poet of songs
with both popular appeal and keen analytical skills. The 11 tracks
include both up-beat sambas and lyrical compositions: witty tunes,
dramatic laments, international items, and, especially, epochal
protest songs with fascinating histories. The album embodies Chico
Buarque's affective sensibilities and sociopolitical engagement,
and this book situates the album in inter-related contexts: the
artist's own career; the evolution of the current he represents MPB
(Brazilian Popular Music); and, especially, historical
conjuncture—the period of military dictatorship in Brazil,
1964-85.
