A Força Verde is the fifth solo album by Brazilian singer/guitarist Zé Ramalho. It was released in 1982.
Contents
Ramalho was accused of plagiarism for the opening and title track: its lyrics are a translation of a poem by Irish writer William Butler Yeats but Ramalho apparently copied it from an Incredible Hulk magazine, without knowing or citing the origin of it. It resulted in a lawsuit, and the writer was cited on subsequent albums.
