Description
A daring concept album from 1976, Estudando o Samba (“Studying the Samba”) deconstructs Brazil’s iconic samba genre with hypnotic percussion, inventive studio techniques, and avant-garde flair—showcasing Tom Zé’s experimental genius in the post-Tropicalia era. The minimalist cover—a nearly blank white expanse marked only by barbed wire and rope—symbolizes the oppressive military regime and rigid structures of samba schools.
