"It is a very good thing for Brazil to have someone like Chico. He is a genius of the Brazilian race, a great poet, a great musician, a great lyricist, a great everything." (Antonio Carlos Jobim, composer).

One of the early stars of 60s MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira), Chico Buarque used the traditional elements of samba as a springboard to create his own unique body of work. His warm voice, good looks and elegant phrasing made him a hit with the ladies but his compelling intelligent lyrics and broad artistic talents (he has also written novels, plays, musicals and operas) have made him a towering and much loved figure of Brazilian culture. CHICO BUARQUE - THE CLASSIC YEARS features a selection of the classic 60s and 70s recordings that many consider to be his finest.

• A unique compilation of sensual samba, bossa and guitar-led vocal music from one of Brazil's most-loved singer-songwriter-poets.

• Featuring 20 beautiful tracks from the late 60s and early 70s – reputedly his finest recordings.

• Beautifully packaged with an authoritative sleevenote from John Armstrong (compiler of Brazil-The Essential album among many other albums on Latin American music) on Chico Buarque’s life and career.
