Ze, Tom
Todo Os Olhos
Reissued for the first time outside of Brazil, Todos Os Olhos is one of the most important Brazilian records of all time. Tom Ze is considered the most "paulista" of all Tropicalistas. He came from Bahia, but his wry urban poetry, infused with the uncomfortable sounds of the largest metropolis of South America, is pure Sao Paulo. The tracks "Complexo de Epico", "Cademar", "Um "OH" e um "AH"", "Augusta, Angelica e Consolacao" and "O Riso e a Faca were included in "Brazil Classics 4: The Best Of Tom Ze" Compiled by David Byrne and released by Luaka Bop in 1990. This reissue includes unseen photos, new testimonials from Tom Ze himself and a lengthy article signed by Bento Araujo, author of the book series Lindo Sonho Delirante.
