The wealth and volume of great Brazilian music cannot be overstated. Chico Buarque began recording in 1966, and with this later album, he began searching for a sound beyond bossa nova and exploring his own take on music. Buarque has been a mainstay in the music of Brazil, with over 60 albums to his credit (he has also authored nine books, five plays and three films). Construção may be his best and most important album. The songs are all in Portuguese, but the themes are strong. Buarque speaks out against the military dictatorships that he had been witness to, making this a highly political album. But it’s also a beautiful album. The music here is simply lovely, a perfect example of what treasures await you on a journey into the music of his country. This is one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever made.
The title track is stunning, and alone makes having this record worthwhile. “Samba De Orly” recognizes and remembers Buarque’s bossa nova roots. “Olha Maria” is simply lovely, as is “Minha História”, while “Cotidiano” makes protest music sound so much more than palatable. His career has been long and storied, his life an artistic adventure…and it all comes back to this record from 1971. Chico Buarque, and this album in particular, can open the doors for you to artists like Caetano Veloso and Milton Nascimento and Gilberto Gil and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The possibilities are endless, and the depth of the music of Brazil is stunning. Let Chico Buarque be the beginning of that journey. This is a perfect place to start. A beautiful and marvelous work by one of the greats of music, regardless of the language. [First added to this chart: 04/22/2025]
