Repress from his second solo album, released by RGE Discos in 1970 Tom Zé is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, innovator and composer who was hugely influential in the Tropicália movement of 1960s Brazil. Zé is often thought of as Brazil’s answer to Zappa or Captain Beefheart; a true innovator and a true artist. After the peak of the Tropicália period, Zé went into relative obscurity. It was only in the 1990s, when musician and Luaka Bop label founder David Byrne discovered an album recorded by Zé many years earlier, that he returned to performing and releasing new material. Continuing in a similar musical vein to Grande Liquidicao, Tom Zé is a wonderful combination of guitars, layered of percussion and tough rock & roll, underpinned by Zé’s instantly reconisable vocal. Ze is infact one of Brazil�s most sampled artists. Jymmy Renda-Se has one of the most recognisable intros you will hear so it was no great surprise that Ameriie sampled it for her smash “Take Control." This Mr Bongo reissue is manufactured in Japan, presented in a super high quality card sleeve with replica original artwork.
