A Brazilian band from Rio that mixed folk with psychedelic guitar work while navigating censorship in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Fel Com Gelo' or 'Cortes de Navalha À Fogo Lento'. Both have that mix of folk and psychedelic guitar work.
They recorded during Brazil's military dictatorship, and songs like 'Fusão dos Horizontes' carried lyrics about alienation and poverty that sometimes ran into trouble with government censors. Their first album 'Panis et Circencis' came out in 1968, and they followed with records like 'O Filho do Hórus' in 1970. The music reflects a specific political climate without losing its psychedelic edge.
They formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1969 with Jards Macalé on vocals, Lanny Gordin on guitar, Fernando Gama on bass, and Didi Gomes on drums. After 'Panis et Circencis' in 1968, they put out 'O Filho do Hórus' in 1970 and 'A Máquina do Tempo' in 1973.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
