Estudando o Pagode [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Tom Z ? An operetta? Really?There are those who might wonder how this outsider wizard of Brazilian song, whose contributions to tropicalia and everything after has gleefully poked at and toyed with and mangled tradition, might pull off such a grandiose thing. And yet here comes the richly imagined and surprisingly unified Estudando O Pagode, an intricate series of portraits and conversations that could align into an evening's entertainment, a staged theatrical event. One review raved at the way Estudando weaves together popular proverbs and homage-like references to towering feats of Brazilian song and profound observations on men and women. "Tom Z is juggling brilliantly with all the tools of modernity."
