São, São Paulo, quanta dor / São, São Paulo, meu amor

In 1968, Tom Zé moved from Bahia to São Paulo, went to the movies, had lunch with Caetano Veloso, and one morning composed the song that would go on to win the main music festival on Brazilian television that year. In "História de Música", the most São Paulo–minded of Bahian artists tells how filmmaker Luiz Sérgio Person introduced him to the paulista capital at one of the city's most famous intersections.
