Wikipedia
Construção is the eighth album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque, released in 1971. It was composed in periods between Buarque's exile in Italy and his return to Brazil. Lyrically, the album is loaded with criticisms of the Brazilian military dictatorship, especially with regard to the censorship imposed by the government at the time. It is regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums, and its title track, "Construção", was named the greatest Brazilian song by Rolling Stone in 2009.
