''Sinais dos Tempos'' is the nineteenth album by Brazilian solo artist Zé Ramalho, the first released through his new and own record label, Avôhai Music, and also the first after four consecutive tribute albums. The track "Indo com o Tempo" makes a reference to his cocaine addiction, in the words "fase negra" (dark chapter). His son João Ramalho guest sings on the album.〔 Ramalho said he wanted to release an original album in 2012 because it is the year in which the Mayan calendar ended and many people believe that this will be the end of the world. == Reception == The album received general positive reviews from the critics. Jotabê Medeiros, from ''O Estado de S. Paulo'', praised the album, giving it a three-star rank, stating that "bluesy guitars join the zabumba and the accordion and the manure mushrooms mix with the memories of the LSD in an album that would invent the career of a popular hero. Zé Ramalho is in quite a nostalgic vibe". Medeiros, however, says that "the lyrics, one of his trumps, are irregular: there are memorable findings and there are bad things. But it is a new pack of prophecies of Zé". Thales de Menezes, from ''Folha de S.Paulo'', gave 3/5 stars and says the album contains songs about the passage of time and the certainty of death, though it is not pessimist nor dark. He adds that "At the age of 62, the singer seems reinvigorated with the interest from a young audience - his performance at SWU 2011 was a celebration". Cristiano Bastos from ''Rolling Stone Brasil'' also gave it a 3/5 star rank and stated that "in ''Sinais dos Tempos'' (), he is back to 'himself'. That is, an outstanding artist, capable of creating inspired songs like 'Indo com o Tempo', 'O Começo da Visão' e 'Rio Paraíba'" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sinais dos Tempos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
