Tom Ze - Cadernos de Musica

Tom Zé (1936) has a particular Tropicália in him. His reading of that ephemeral and eternal moment in Brazilian music is unique. In the same way, his formal fidelity to the movement is unique - Tom Zé is often referred to as the last Tropicalist.
"We Tropicalists wanted to be part of the world. And not be something apart from the world, like a folklore of the world. So, thanks to that, the Brazilian song was very much modified in its structure, both in its chordological structure and in its formal structure,."
The collection Cadernos de Música presents an essay that discusses his life and his musical revolution, along with an exclusive interview (2019) and his discography.
