Zé Ramalho Canta Raul Seixas Explained
Zé Ramalho Canta Raul Seixas is the sixteenth album by Brazilian solo artist Zé Ramalho. It is a tribute album to another well-known Brazilian guitarist, Raul Seixas. It was released in 2001. Zé wanted to record an album with Raul when he was alive. More than a decade after his death, he decided to record this tribute album, but he faced opposition from the writer Paulo Coelho, who refused to grant permission for Zé Ramalho to record the songs he had composed with Raul.[1] Zé ended up recording only songs Raul had composed alone. Zé later stated, referring to Coelho's refusal: "It was rude, with absolutely no elegance. But there's no way for someone to stop me."[1]
