Brazuca Sounds #30: Samba-Rock
from Brazuca Sounds · host Leandro Vignoli
In episode #30 we listed fundamental albums of samba-rock from Trio Mocotó, Bebeto, Luiz Vagner, and Marku. Samba-rock blended samba elements with the guitar and other electric instruments and is mostly associated with São Paulo in the 1970s - and expanded to cities such as Porto Alegre (as it has been known as "swing") and Rio de Janeiro (where they called "sambalanço"). More like a dance style than a music genre initially, samba-rock was (re)discovered by DJs and exploded in the 1990s and 2000s with several parties dedicated to it. Jorge Ben was obviously the main figure in samba-rock, and we finished this episode listing five popular samba-rock hits written by Ben although performed by other artists.
