Construção

Chico Buarque

A cinematic collision of sophisticated samba and dissonant orchestral arrangements. Coded political defiance hidden within intricate, mathematical poetry.

1971 · Endless Happiness (2)

A high-stakes tension between elegant melody and the chaotic, dissonant reality of political oppression.

Moments Worth Listening For
The terrifying orchestral swell at the end of the title track where the rhythm and brass collapse into a sonic representation of a falling building.
The repetitive, hypnotic guitar figure in Cotidiano that mimics the soul-crushing monotony of a daily routine.
The sudden, jarring shift from a gentle waltz to a cinematic, mournful string arrangement in Valsinha.
