“Construção, it means 'construction.' It's such an amazing song. It takes you to a construction site. It says there's a man he's drunk. He had a long day. He's falling off, look at him fall. The music mirrors the lyrics exactly but the music is so epic. I mean we're talking about a huge orchestra with all the drums and the samba happening under it. It's a really amazing, amazing track.”Watch this moment
Construção
Chico Buarque
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.
