Acabou Chorare is the second studio album by Brazilian rock and MPB group Novos Baianos. The album was released in 1972 by Som Livre, following the group's moderately successful debut É Ferro na Boneca. During the recording of the album, the group took inspiration from various contemporary artists of the time, such as Jimi Hendrix, João Gilberto, and Assis Valente. In addition, Gilberto heavily influenced the sound of the album, as he served as the group's mentor during the album's recording sessions. The album was written and recorded as a response to contemporary Brazilian music of the 1970s, which often dealt with melancholic subject matters, due in part to the ongoing Brazilian military dictatorship. Acabou Chorare is a MPB, samba rock and tropicália album with elements of frevo, baião, choro, afoxé and rock and roll. These elements were influenced by João Gilberto, who introduced them to Brazilian musical traditions, incorporating those elements into their sound while maintaining rock energy. Guitarist Pepeu Gomes contributed virtuosic solos and experimented with custom-built instruments and distortion techniques.
