Brazuca Sounds #67: Southern Music of Brazil

In this episode, we celebrate the music from the South region in Brazil, from its folklore roots with Teixeirinha, album sales phenomenon Nelson Gonçalves, melancholic-samba pioneer Lupicínio Rodrigues, and the bubblegum-rock early influences of Elis Regina. We also covered the Southern Tropicalia movement, with Os Brasas, O Bando, and Liverpool, and finished with folk-rock artists like Hermes Aquino, Almondegas, Paralelo 30, Carlinhos Hartlieb, Bebeto Alves, Vitor Ramil, blending MPB, folk, nativist sounds and influences from the border with Uruguay and Argentina.
