Repress from his second solo album, released by RGE Discos in 1970 !

Tom Z� is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, innovator and composer who was hugely influential in the Tropic�lia 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.

After the peak of the Tropic�lia 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 reconisable vocal. Ze is infact one of Brazil�s most sampled artists. �Jimmy, renda-se� has one ofthe most recognisable intro�s 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.
