History

Released in 1976, the album didn't receive much attention from the Brazilian press. Estudando o Samba surveys Brazilian music's largest genre, the samba, while approaching the music with the same creativity Zé had shown with his previous album, "Todos os Olhos".

While doing a research about samba for his musical label Luaka Bop, David Byrne bought this album and reignited Tom Zé's career.[2]
