Acabou chorare (1972)
Album
Released
The door into Brazilian rock. Novos Baianos, a commune-living Bahian band, made this 1972 album after João Gilberto encouraged them to look back to samba, and it fuses choro and samba with electric guitar. Pepeu Gomes's playing on Tinindo Trincando shows the rock side, while Preta Pretinha shows the gentle, acoustic one. It is often named the greatest Brazilian album in critics' polls.
