Pequeno Cidadão is the debut album by the children's pop rock band Pequeno Cidadão, released on physical media in 2009 by the record label Rosa Celeste and re-released on streaming platforms in 2016 by MCD.[1][2]

The album received excellent reviews from the media and critics, and was also recommended for listening with children by MVC Editora and the "Paternidade" column of Editora Globo.[3][4][5]

Overview

Pequeno Cidadão has 14 tracks and lyrics that play with the first "existential dilemmas" of human beings, with a repertoire focused on the daily lives of those who have children. The songs are about love, giving up pacifiers, soccer, animals, rock to psychedelia, and a delightful mix of fun and emotion, very much in line with the daily lives of those who live with children.[6][7]

Before the album's release, the songs were already a hit on the group's Myspace page, which also features behind-the-scenes footage from the recordings. The album was also released on DVD, featuring a music video for each of the 14 tracks.[8]

Several songs from the album were licensed for use as themes in children's soap operas on SBT: "Pequeno Cidadão" and "O Sol e a Lua" in Carrossel, "Sapo-Boi" in Patrulha Salvadora, "Meu Anjinho" in Chiquititas and "Oi, Hello" in As Aventuras de Poliana.[9]
