Cidades e Lendas
album by Zé Ramalho
Cidades e Lendas is the thirteenth solo album by Brazilian musician Zé Ramalho. It was released in 1996, after another four-year gap with no albums. It was released in a show at TUCA, São Paulo, around the time when his hit "Admirável Gado Novo" was featured at the soundtrack of Rede Globo's telenovela O Rei do Gado. When comparing this work with his previous effort, Frevoador, Ramalho said he was more satisfied this time because he had more time "to choose the best repertoire and invite the right people".
By the end of October 1998, it had sold 50,000 copies.

Why this record matters
“Cidades e Lendas” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cidades, Lendas and album provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q5119511. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 1998.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
