So, I thought I'd create a thread about my homeland's own rock n roll.
Anyway, I must say I don't like about 80% of the so called "rock n roll" produced in Brazil. Sad but true.
Brazil does however have some good rock, folk and blues musicians, I'll make a small collection of vids and images of the ones I like for you all.
One of them was the composer/singer/songwriter Raul Seixas.
He was from Bahia, born in 1945, and died in 1989. An often misunderstood poet, he was deeply influenced by occultism and the works of Aleister Crowley. He even claimed to have plans for the creation of the "Alternative Society," which was to be an anarchist community, mentioned in his lyrics.
Although he had some VERY cool blues-based rock compositions, people in Brazil usually like and remember him for his more philosophic and quiet music.
Here's one of my favorite songs by him. The licks always reminded me of Brown Sugar by the Stones:
