Chico Buarque - Meus Caros Amigos (Original Pressing)

Meus Caros Amigos is a 1976 studio album by Chico Buarque, released during Brazil’s military dictatorship. It is one of his most politically charged and emotionally nuanced records, blending MPB and samba with subtle but incisive social commentary.

The album includes some of Chico’s most enduring songs, such as “O Que Será (À Flor da Terra)”, “Meu Caro Amigo” and “Corrente”, where poetic lyrics were often used to circumvent censorship while expressing themes of exile, repression, friendship and resilience. Musically restrained but lyrically powerful, Meus Caros Amigos is widely regarded as a key work in Chico Buarque’s discography and an important document of its historical moment.
