Album Notes & Community Reviews

Directly challenging the brutal Brazilian military dictatorship with layers of dense metaphor and a famously subversive, optical-illusion album cover, Tom Zé delivered an avant-garde marvel. 'Todos os olhos' is a wonderfully quirky, highly playful deconstruction of MPB, weaving intensely sarcastic, deeply satirical urban humor into remarkably complex, avant-folk samba rhythms.
