The Case of the Brazilian Rock Reunion

<< Tropicology

Today we are dipping back into the vault for rock-inspired sounds from Brazil. This will not be a focus on the experimental sounds of the Tropicalia movement of the late 60s... instead we'll hear where the rock vibe went in Brazil during the 70s.

Like jazz, rock was just a flavor that Brazilian musicians added to their soups. Today we will hear rock sounds and idioms (especially electric guitar) grafted onto existing Brazilian forms such as samba, sertao and forro from central and northern Brazil, plus soul and funk.

We start the show today with some Baroque pop music forms, then we'll hear some polished pop gems that just dip back into the late 60s. We finish the first hour with an early dose of slow jams.

The second hour today kicks off with some folk-inspired twang, then we turn up the rock to end the set.
