Archive material and source history
Alcides de Barros formed a band in the early 1970s that blended Brazilian rhythms with psychedelic rock and experimental sounds. Their 1974 debut album included 'A Lenda do Diamante Estelar,' a track with cryptic lyrics and ethereal harmonies that became their most recognizable work. Another song from their catalog, 'Carta Desviada,' appears among their top recordings.
The group released several albums through the late 1970s, including 'Poeta dos Cabelos Brancos' in 1976 and 'Semente do Tempo' in 1978. Their music sometimes drew criticism for being obscure, while others considered it pioneering. The core lineup featured Alcides de Barros on vocals and guitar, with Zé Pretinho on bass, Eloy Fritsch on drums, and Zé Carlos on keyboards.
Their sound emerged from a mix of influences, folk music from Northern Brazil and the eclectic urban environment of São Paulo, where Alcides de Barros had moved earlier. The band's recordings, particularly 'A Lenda do Diamante Estelar,' maintained a following for their atmospheric quality and departure from more conventional Brazilian music of the period.
