He didn't conceive this record as a radical intervention in Brazilian popular music or as a watershed in his own career. He couldn't have imagined that it would form the core of a 1990 compilation that would reach an international audience or be heralded as one of the best albums of that decade by Rolling Stone. His return to "studies" thirty years later was, on some level, a way of recognizing the signficance of Estudando o Samba in his artistic trajectory. As a set, this box set offers a unique perspective on Tom Zé's approach to musical invention, his vanguardist approach to pop music, and his complex relationship with the tradition of Brazilian song. It collects for the first time the visionary Brazilian artist's singular take on samba, pagode, And bossa nova. A retrospective nearly fifty years in the making."
