Bottom edge of jacket is splitting. Chico Buarque is one of Brazil's most iconic and influential musicians, known for his poetic songwriting, socially conscious lyrics, and his role in shaping Brazilian popular music (MPB). Active since the 1960s, Buarque became a symbol of resistance during the military dictatorship in Brazil, using his music to subtly criticize the regime and address themes of social justice, love, and identity. Released in 1971, Construção is widely regarded as one of Buarque's masterpieces and one of the most important albums in Brazilian music history. The album combines the sophisticated arrangements of MPB with elements of samba and classical music, all while incorporating deeply layered, often politically charged lyrics. The title track, "Construção," is a groundbreaking piece, famous for its intricate wordplay and its unusual lyrical structure. The song tells the story of a construction worker's tragic death, but its form—a series of 14-syllable verses, each ending with a shifting repetition of nouns—creates a hypnotic, almost surreal atmosphere. It is a striking commentary on the dehumanizing aspects of industrialization and labor under a repressive regime. The rest of the album blends samba rhythms, orchestral flourishes, and lush, melancholic melodies, with songs like "Deus Lhe Pague" and "Cotidiano" continuing Buarque's exploration of Brazil's social and political landscape. Construção stands out for its rich musicality, sophisticated lyricism, and the way it marries personal and political narratives. 50 Similar Artists to Chico BuarqueCaetano VelosoGilberto GilMilton NascimentoTom JobimEdu LoboElis ReginaGal CostaMaria BethâniaVinícius de MoraesJorge BenDjavanJoão GilbertoGeraldo VandréPaulinho da ViolaNara LeãoZeca PagodinhoToquinhoMartinho da VilaDorival CaymmiBaden PowellGonzaguinhaIvan LinsJoão BoscoMarcos ValleRoberto CarlosClara NunesTim MaiaRoberto MenescalNelson CavaquinhoLuiz MelodiaAlceu ValençaHermeto PascoalRaul SeixasEgberto GismontiGilberto GILPepeu GomesCarlos LyraJards MacaléLuiz GonzagaJohnny AlfWalter FrancoSecos & MolhadosNovos BaianosOs MutantesArthur VerocaiJoão DonatoGeraldo AzevedoChico CésarFagnerElomarThese artists share Chico Buarque’s emphasis on sophisticated songwriting, poetic lyrics, and a blend of traditional Brazilian genres with more modern musical forms.
