It represents a great change in the manner of his artistic style. He started to create his own musical style, although surely there is the influence of bossa nova, as one can observe in the song 'Samba de Orly', composed with Toquinho and Vinicius de Moraes.
Released during the most critical period of military dictatorship, the album is strongly critical to that kind of government, as one can see in Deus lhe pague, direct criticism to ditactorship, and Samba de Orly, on the exile of politicians and artist. In this work, Chico Buarque also criticizes the way of life of the Brazilian workers, comparing them to machines in two songs: Cotidiano and Construção.
It is the number 3 on Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest Brazilian albums of all time.... (more)(less)

"screaming:
"Por esse pão pra comer, por esse chão pra dormir
A certidão pra nascer e a concessão pra sorrir
Por me deixar respirar, por me deixar existir,
Deus lhe pague
Pela cachaça de graça que a gente tem que engolir
Pela fumaça e a desgraça, que a gente tem que tossir
Pelos andaimes pingentes que a gente tem que cair,
Deus lhe pague"
