Tom Ze - Estudando O Pagode

Estudando o Pagode, Zé's newest release on Luaka Bop, is musically daring and danceable, with observations on human nature and sexual politics that are hilariously wry. OK, it's not really an opera, but a non-linear group of songs about the same subject. The album has already been nominated for a Latin Grammy and received the prestigious CHOC de la Musique from Le Monde.
