Brazuca Sounds #22 - Chico Buarque: "Construção" (1971)
from Brazuca Sounds · host Leandro Vignoli
In episode #22 we discussed Chico Buarque's eighth album, "Construção", released 50 years ago by Philips in December 1971. Considered by many the best Brazilian album of all time, it was Chico's first studio record after returning to Brazil following a period living in Europe due to the Brazilian dictatorship. Perhaps not by consequence, it is Chico Buarque's more political record, surrounded by themes such as the social-economic issues in the country and lack of freedom, all that encapsulated by Chico Buarque's superb lyrics.
