Russ Slater’s vanguarda paulista playlist [After tropicalia ended, the more conservative MPB reigned,] The vanguarda paulista that emerged at the end of the 70s attempted to return to those heady days of tropicália, when it was possible for music to be popular, even as it combined advanced compositional theories with irreverent lyrical ideas and an awareness of mass culture. These same traits characterised the work of the São Paulo based group of musicians and composers who congregated around the small theatre, live venue and record label called the Lira Paulistana.
Cool. I'm a big fan of Tom Ze but know nothing of his larger context.

Super-cool. Huge Tom Ze fan myself, and totally excited to dip into this again.

I've been on an Itamar Assumpção kick lately. He has this deeply hilarious and biting sense of humor. The stuff that he did with his band Isca da Policia (Police bait) is amazing, and his backup singers are really great.
