Francisco Buarque de Hollanda (born June 19, 1944 in Rio de Janeiro), popularly known as Chico Buarque is a Brazilian singer, composer, dramatist and writer. He is best known for his music, which often comments on Brazil's social, economic and cultural reality.

Chico Buarque came from a privileged, intellectual family background: his father Sérgio Buarque de Holanda was a well-known historian and sociologist. A studious child with a precocious interest in music and writing, Chico was impressed by bossa nova, specifically the work of João Gilberto.

Construção is the Fifth Album of Chico Buarque. Dramatic Record that Represented a Break in his Career. He Evoked the Dehumanization Caused by Work, Marriage, Routine and the System.
