Best Cd by Chico

"This is Chico Buarque's best album ever.Having been released in 1978,at the beginning of the then cruel censorship's softening in Brazil,it features A PESAR DE VOCE and CALICE which are direct shots at the military dictatorship.FEIJOADA COMPLETA is a recipe for the Brazilian dish turned into samba while O MEU AMOR (featuring his wife in vocals)and PEDACO DE MIM(duet with the then emerging Zizi Possi) showcase the romantic side of the great Carioca songwriter.PIVETE tells the tale of "bad" street kids and one
Silvio Rodriguez tune PEQUENA SERENATA DIURNA makes the cut with Chico singing in Spanish."
Another fine Brazilian MPB album

"This is one of several records by Brazilian artist Chico Buarque that have the same title ("Chico Buarque"). This one is from 1978, and is quite good."
