Tom Ze

Digitally remastered edition of this rare album from the Brazilian legend. Tom Z is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, innovator and composer who was hugely influential in the Tropiclia movement of 1960s Brazil. Z is often thought of as Brazil's answer to Zappa or Captain Beefheart; a true innovator and a true artist. This, his second solo album, is self-titled, and was released by RGE Discos in 1970. After the peak of the Tropiclia period, Z went into relative obscurity. It was only in the 1990s, when musician and Luaka Bop label founder David Byrne discovered an album recorded by Z many years earlier, that he returned to performing and releasing new material. Continuing in a similar musical vein to GRANDE LIQUIDICAO, Tom Ze is a wonderful combination of guitars, layered of percussion and tough rock 'n' roll, underpinned by Ze's instantly recognizable vocal. BTW, Ze is one of Brazil's most sampled artists!
