Zii e Zie is Italian for "Uncles and Aunts". The songs were labeled as "transsambas", because the album is samba-driven. Veloso and his band paid a tribute to Rio de Janeiro. Veloso described the album as "very clear and dense, with melodic phrases".[4] Zii e Zie was based on many shows by the band of their "Obra em Progresso" (work in progress), which has an official blog.[5] registering the creative process of the album.
