Cidades e Lendas

Cidades e Lendas is the thirteenth solo album by Brazilian musician Zé Ramalho. It was released in 1996, after another four-year gap with no albums. It was released in a show at TUCA, São Paulo, around the time when his hit "Admirável Gado Novo" was featured at the soundtrack of Rede Globo's telenovela O Rei do Gado. When comparing this work with his previous effort, Frevoador, Ramalho said he was more satisfied this time because he had more time "to choose the best repertoire and invite the right people".[2]

Notes

  1. "Sodade" is a misspelling of "saudade", widely used in the Caipira dialect.
gollark: I kind of dislike JS as a language, although I do find it very nice to work with for some things (with a typechecker).
gollark: There are, generally, other options.
gollark: Hmm, I thought I had this working but my parser appears to eat ] sometimes.
gollark: Everyone rents "cloud" stuff from everyone else, and ultimately it's just on my stuff.
gollark: My computer is *already* the internet.
