As Canções de Eu Tu Eles (transl. The Songs of Me You Them) is an album released by Brazilian singer-songwriter Gilberto Gil in 2001. The album is the soundtrack for the 2000 film Eu Tu Eles directed by Andrucha Waddington, starred by Regina Casé, Lima Duarte, Stênio Garcia and Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos. Set in Russas, the film is about a countywoman who lives together with her three husbands and two children in the arid backlands of the northeast of Brazil. At the 2000 Cannes Film Festival it earned a "Special Distinction" in the Un Certain Regard section.[2]
Waddington asked Gil to record the album, which also became Gil's tribute to Luiz Gonzaga "The King of the Baião", recording songs previously released by Gonzaga, such as "Assum Preto," "Asa Branca," "Juazeiro," and "Qui Nem Jiló".[3] Gil also wrote songs especially for this movie soundtrack, "As Pegadas do Amor" and "Lamento Sertanejo". The first single released, "Esperando Na Janela", became a hit in Brazil in 2000.[3] There is also a song recorded by Gil on his album Dia Dorim, Noite Neon (1995), "Casinha Feliz", that is recreated and closes the album, which was recorded in ten days.[4]
The album was named by Phillip Jandovský of
