Böcker av Tom Ze

A coleção Trajetórias Musicais apresenta um ensaio que aborda sa vida-obra de Tom Zé, junto com uma entrevista exclusiva (2019) e a sua discografía.

Tom Zé (1936) has a particular Tropicália in him. His reading of that ephemeral and eternal moment in Brazilian music is unique. In the same way, his formal fidelity to the movement is unique - Tom Zé is often referred to as the last Tropicalist. "We Tropicalists wanted to be part of the world. And not be something apart from the world, like a folklore of the world. So, thanks to that, the Brazilian song was very much modified in its structure, both in its chordological structure and in its formal structure, ."The collection Cadernos de Música presents an essay that discusses his life and his musical revolution, along with an exclusive interview (2019) and his discography.

Encontros (Meetings) is the largest and most prestigious book collection of interviews with Brazilian artists and thinkers. With more than 50 published titles, Encontros provides a broad panorama of Brazil's cultural and intellectual wealth. From the avant-garde of Bahia in the 1960s, through Tropicália and the radical experimentalism of the records of the 1970s, such as the classic "Estudando o Samba", to the recovery of public attention in the last three decades, Tom Zé has followed an original path, marked by creativity, irreverence, and courage. More than a unique artist, Tom Zé is also a unique thinker of our culture, as can be seen in the statements and interviews reproduced in this volume of Coleção Encontros.
