20 De Julho is a Brazilian rock band from São Paulo, named after the date of the country's independence. They started playing in underground clubs and local festivals, building a following with their raw energy and socially conscious lyrics.
They released their debut album "Ilha" in 2009, followed by "Mundo Perdido" in 2012. In 2016 they put out "Sócrates," a concept album that explored philosophy and freedom. The band's lineup included João Cavalcanti on vocals and guitar, Marco Laurito on bass, and Renato Alves on drums.
Their music connected with a generation of young Brazilians, and they eventually toured both in Brazil and abroad. They shared stages with artists like Eddie Vedder and Roger Waters, and their videos found an audience online.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
