Megatamainho is the second studio album by Brazilian musician, actor and director Gero Camilo, released in 2014. It was produced by Bactéria, former keyboardist and guitarist of Mundo Livre S/A, and it features partnerships with Luiz Caldas, Vanessa da Mata, Otto and Rubi.[1] [2] [4] [5] [7] Camilo describes the album music as something with potency "for dance, for celebration".[4] He also said that he didn't make an effort towards any genre, and that it comes naturally "from my relation with my taste, from receiving things without prejudice".[2]

The album is a celebration of his 20 years living in São Paulo, which size also inspired the name of the record (which translates as "Mega Little Size") and where he met the musicians whom he collaborated with when creating the songs.[7]

The title track speaks of borders and was inspired by a conversation Camilo had with fellow actor Caco Ciocler about the conflicts between Jews and Palestines.[2] "Chuchuzeiro", was composed by rapper Criolo and deals with "love and lightness".[2] Camilo said he admires Criolo's works "and the way he shows his political and human vision of poetry. Music has much to do with out roots, with forró, but without losing the critical tone".[1]
