Acabou Chorare (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [akaˈbow ʃoˈɾaɾi], 'No More Crying') is the second studio album by Brazilian rock and MPB group Novos Baianos. The album was released in 1972 by Som Livre, following the group's moderately successful debut É Ferro na Boneca (1970). During the recording of the album, the group took inspiration from various contemporary artists of the time, such as Jimi Hendrix, João Gilberto, and Assis Valente. In addition, Gilberto heavily influenced the sound of the album, as he served as the group's mentor during the album's recording sessions. The album was written and recorded as a response to contemporary Brazilian music of the 1970s, which often dealt with melancholic subject matters, due in part to the ongoing Brazilian military dictatorship. Acabou Chorare is a MPB, samba rock and tropicália album with elements of frevo, baião, choro, afoxé and rock and roll. These elements were influenced by João Gilberto, who introduced them to Brazilian musical traditions, incorporating those elements into their sound while maintaining rock energy. Guitarist Pepeu Gomes contributed virtuosic solos and experimented with custom-built instruments and distortion techniques. Moraes Moreira's guitar style also evolved, shifting from rock strumming to the intricate plucking characteristic of samba and bossa nova. The album has received several awards and nominations from publications. In 2007, Acabou Chorare was ranked first in the list of 100 greatest albums of Brazilian music by the Brazilian Rolling Stone magazine. It was also nominated in the Discoteca Básica podcast, being voted as the second greatest album of Brazilian music. In September 2012, it was voted the eight best Brazilian album, tied with the self-titled album by Secos & Molhados by the audience of Eldorado FM radio, the Estadão.com portal and Caderno C2+Música (the latter two belonging to the O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper). In July 2024, it was ranked in the 22th position on the "Los 600 de Latinoamérica" list compiled by a collective of music journalists from several countries of the Americas, curating the top 600 Latin American albums from 1920 to 2022.
