Who I Am & Where I Live

  • Name: Tom Zé
  • City: São Paulo
  • Country: Brazil
  • Hometown: Irará, Bahia

My Life & Work

  • Bio: Nascido em 11 de outubro de 1936 em Irará/Bahia numa família de classe média, economicamente favorecida quando seu pai, comerciante de Irará, tirou a “sorte grande” da loteria federal, Tom Zé passou a infância em sua cidade, no Recôncavo baiano. Menciona que sua infância foi vivida na Idade Média nua e crua, representada, naquele mundão perdido de tudo, por relações familiares e religiosas medievais, complementadas pela situação pré-gutenberguiana na qual o alfabeto fonético inventado pelos fenícios não era conhecido nem praticado – exceto por raras famílias. Era uma vida cultural forte, musical, intensa, para aqueles analfabetos que amavam a cultura dos avós e viviam praticando-a em termos próprios – conforme Euclides da Cunha (“Os Sertões”).

    Em Salvador, no curso secundário, se interessou por música e cursou por seis anos a Universidade de Música da Bahia, depois de ter passado em primeiro lugar no vestibular. Essa escola excepcional contava com professores como Ernst Widmer, Walter Smetak e Hans Joachim Koellreutter.

    Ainda em Salvador, participou do espetáculo “Nós, Por Exemplo”, no Teatro Castro Alves. Já em São Paulo, participa de “Arena Canta Bahia”, musical dirigido por Augusto Boal, e da gravação do disco definidor do Tropicalismo, “Tropicália ou Panis et Circensis”, em 1968.
    No mesmo ano leva o primeiro lugar no IV Festival de Música Popular Brasileira, da TV Record, com a canção “São São Paulo, Meu Amor”. Grava seu primeiro disco, “Tom Zé – Grande Liquidação”, que tematiza a vida urbana brasileira em música e texto renovadores.

    Em 1973 lança “Todos os Olhos”, cuja ousadia, só assimilada por crítica e público muito tempo depois, o afastou dos meios de comunicação “mas me fez escutado pelos melhores ouvidos do País” – diz o artista.

    Lança o disco “Estudando o Samba” em 1976, recebido então com certa perplexidade, por sua ousadia formal.

    Casualmente no final dos anos 80 o disco “Estudando o Samba” foi ouvido pelo multiartista David Byrne, ex-Talking Heads, que perguntou por telefone a Arto Lindsay: “- Que país é esse, que tem um artista assim e que tão poucos conhecem?” e lançou sua obra nos Estados Unidos, com total sucesso de crítica e público.

    A compilação ‘The Best of Tom Zé”, da gravadora de Byrne, foi o único álbum brasileiro a figurar entre os dez discos mais importantes da década nos E.U.A. Tom Zé passou a ser mais ouvido no Brasil e seu extraordinário desempenho no palco repercutiu no País e nas turnês européias e americanas. Em Londres por exemplo, no Barbican Festival, foi o sucesso de público do festival que contou com Stockhausen, Werner Herzog e Enio Morricone.

    Recebeu o Prêmio de Criatividade concedido pelos compositores do festival Composer to Composer, em Telluride, E.U.A., 1990.

    Compôs “Parabelo” para o Grupo Corpo, com José Miguel Wisnik em 1997.

    Em 1998 lançou “Com Defeito de Fabricação”, disco que fala sobre o homem do Terceiro Mundo, listado entre os dez mais importantes do ano pelo The New York Times.
    No mesmo ano ganhou o prêmio da APCA (Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte).

    É tema de três documentários, premiados:
    “Tom Zé, ou Quem Irá Colocar Uma Dinamite na Cabeça do Século?”, por Carla Gallo (2000);

    “Fabricando Tom Zé”, por Décio Matos Júnior (2006);

    “Tom Zé – Astronauta Libertado”, por Igor Iglesias, cineasta espanhol (2009).

    Compôs “Santagustin” para o Grupo Corpo (2002).

    Prêmio Shell pelo conjunto da obra – 2003.
    Artista do Ano – Revista Bravo, 2006.

    Escreveu os livros “Tropicalista Lenta Luta” (Publifolha, 2003),

    “Ilha Deserta – Discos” (Publifolha – 2003), “Cidades do Brasil – Salvador” (Publifolha, 2006).

    Lançou em 2010 pela Biscoito Fino, o CD e DVD “O Pirulito da Ciência”, com produção de Charles Gavin.

    O disco “Todos os Olhos” foi relançado em vinil no mesmo ano.

    Em outubro, a Luaka Bop lançou, nos EUA a antologia/box em vinil, intitulada “Studies of Tom Zé – Explaining Things So I Can Confuse You (Tô te explicando pra te confundir).”
    No dia 7 de dezembro, no Palácio dos Bandeirantes, o Governo do Estado de São Paulo concede a Tom Zé o “Prêmio Governador do Estado – Destaque em Música no ano de 2010”.

    Em 2013 lança “Tribunal do Feicebuqui”, em formato digital para download, lançado em vinil compacto duplo no mesmo ano.

The world's artistry via giant steps through a matrix based in the phenomenon placing most of the 7.8 billion of us within 6 or fewer degrees — steps — of each other ...

 

... a project conceived and built in the fertile, fecund and atavistic ground zero of Bahia, Brazil initially for the discoverability of this singular region's dispossessed genius.

 

All explained in the window immediately below. Followed — beneath this window — by scores of magnificent artists, each leading to myriads more artists/categories. Inside this window also  may be found our Brazilian record store radio, named by British journal The Guardian as one of 10 of the Best Radio Stations Around the World!

 

IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT

 

Brazil is not a European nation. It's not a North American nation. It's not an East Asian nation. It straddles -- jungle and desert and dense urban centers -- both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. It absorbed over ten times the number of African slaves taken to the United States of America, and much of its aboriginal population was absorbed into the general population-at-large. Its people have lived under oligarchy, plutocracy, dictatorships and massive corruption, with elements of these still strongly entrenched today.

 

But!

 

Brazil has buzz...not the shallow buzz of a fashionable moment...but the deep buzz of a population which in spite of -- or perhaps because of -- the tough slog through life they've been allotted by humanity's dregs-in-fine-linen, have chosen not to simply pull themselves along but to lift their voices in song and their bodies in dance...to eat well and converse well and much and to wring the joy out of the day-to-day happenings and small pleasures of life which are so often set aside or ignored in the European, North American, and East Asian nations.

 

For this Brazil has a genius perhaps unparalleled in all other countries and societies, a genius which thrives alongside peeling paint and holes in the streets and roads, under bad organization by the powers-that-be, both civil and governmental, under a constant rain of societal indignities...

 

Which is all to say that if you don't know Brazil and you're expecting any semblance of order, progress and light, you will certainly find the light! And the buzz of a people who for generations have responded to privation at many different levels by somehow rising above it all.

 

Raimundo Sodré, in a conversation ranging through New Orleans and Harlem and the South Side of Chicago ... and Appalachia and Irish villages and Russian shtetls and the unofficial symbol of Brazil's Bahian-born national music (the pandeiro) almost certainly having arrived in Brazil in the hands of Sephardic Jews (including conversos) fleeing the Inquisition, once remarked: "Where there's misery, there's music!"

 

A pandeirista on the roof. And it's not just music. And it's not just Brazil.
