Nice sounding Brazilian Bossa Nova with a slight experimental-spoof on the style. He did the same thing to Samba in 1975 with an album "Estudando o samba". Tom Ze was one of the influences to the Tropicalia movement ( made fun of the generals in power and good taste in Brazilian popular music) in the 1960's. All tracks are real nice.
