Hit: 5 Stars
The current and official Tom Ze record of world events all summed up in a "PAGODE". An after-political-intrigue cocktail party for tails looking for cocks and cocks looking for tails and every other form of collusion and back-room, boardroom and even bathroom politicos with their secrets and lies and all disguised to look like a press-the-flesh / press-the-flush festival of Tom Ze-foolery ! Drink ! Dance ! Sing ! Samba ! Pagode ! Pagode ! and Pagode Again ! I adore this man tremendously !, so should you!
Estudando o Pagode Poster
Tom Ze's latest opus, Estudando o Pagode, isn't just a musical journey. It's more an eclectic, expermental collage of sounds, thoughts, and feelings. The Brazilian song master has collected these musings into a purposeful, often artful, post-feminist operetta. Intense concentration is a must. The hour-long escapade is divided into three acts, each detailing situations that involve the mistreatment and repression of women. Ze incorporates soaring sopranos, chanting choruses, braying donkeys, and orgasmic moans into his musical framework, which is based on the improvisational pagode style. Amid so much conscious clatter, there are moments of surreal beauty: the quiet grace of "Duas Opinioes"; the celebratory groove of "Elaeu," which takes place during a Gay-Lesbian Pride Parade at the Vatican; and the swooning soulfulness of "Prazer Carnal," set at the U.N. building in New York. Ze has said he doesn't make art, he makes "spoken and sung journalism." His issues are important, to be sure, but you're unlikely to find a more artful, amusing and arresting piece of experimental theater anytime soon. --Joey GuerraTom Ze was the most daring of the founding members of Tropicalia, the political art and music movement that emerged from Brazil in the late 60's. Over-the-top pop bossa nova that transitioned into rock became the group's signature sound. Ze pursued catchy sambas rife with cleverly subversive lyrics and innovative instrumentation into the late 70's, expanding on his Dadaist ideas and experimenting with noise and homemade instruments. His fearlessness pushed him to the edge of obscurity until Luaka Bop released a "best of" Ze's recordings in the US in 1990, thereby reinvigorating interest in his music. This release is musically daring and danceable, with observations on human nature and sexual politics that are hilariously wry. The album has already been nominated for a Latin Grammy. "One of avant-pop's great musical minds..." - Entertainment Weekly. "...brilliantly bizarre, creative, and intellectual" - The Fader.
Estudando o Pagode is a very ambitious project, in which Tom Z? uses the format of an operetta to make a thematic album in three "acts" (16 songs), telling a largely tragic story about love, jealousy, desperation, and murder at a university. The music is mainly based on choro and samba mixed with modern pop and rock, and many times seems to have been written for a musical rather than a mere CD release. Without doubt, it is a very unusual and interesting way to make a record, and the lyrics - as usual for a Tom Z? album - are clever, often humorous, and interesting. Estudando o Pagode is a nice album, but not as easy to take in as his usual work. V2. 2006.
Produced by Jair De Oliveira. Special Guests: Luciana Mello, Zelia Duncan, Patricia Marx, Edson Cordeiro, Among Others. 16 Tracks.
