Zii e Zie is Italian for "Uncles and Aunts". The songs were labeled as "transsambas", because the album is samba-driven. Veloso and his band paid a tribute to Rio de Janeiro. Veloso described the album as "very clear and dense, with melodic phrases".[4] Zii e Zie was based on many shows by the band of their "Obra em Progresso" (work in progress), which has an official blog.[5] registering the creative process of the album.

gollark: Actual implanted cybernetics are somewhat worrying because I don't really trust computers at this point, especially higher-performance ones.
gollark: All the cool people™ would run BrainLinux or something, and occasionally be blinded by incomprehensible driver problems.
gollark: You don't need *that*, just some method of projecting onto glasses in decent resolution without horrible focus problems, probably some way to blot out background too, and some kind of gesture control system (specialized gloves or radar maybe).
gollark: I imagine that phones will be replaced by AR glasses or something before an iPhone 47 ever happens, but who knows. Consumer AR stuff never seems to go anywhere.
gollark: It's entirely wireless.
