El Tepual is a Brazilian singer and guitarist. Cliecheically regarded as the prodigy of Gilberto Gil, he is what you might call a modernist tropicalia musician. However, he is a little bit more than that, as his music does have more layer than the generic tropicalia beat and guitar plating.
This is very well portrayed in his debut, self-titles album, featured here. On top of the local music he uses layers of electronics and modernist production which reflects much of the modern way the music has took, especially in such genres such as dubstep, trip-hop and gazelling.

About me
Album Art is a wonderful thing. It's job is to draw our attention to one album amidst many more in the record store (or virtual one) but sometimes it is a lot more than that. A work of art completing and augmenting the listening experience.
This tumbler blog is dedicated to Randomly generated album art. Every picture is taken from a random Flickr search; every artist's name or band title is taken from a random Wikipedia title; every album name is taken from a random quotation page.
And the bio and album details? Are they real? Well, I bet they are. Somewhere.
