A Rio de Janeiro group that mixed samba, bossa nova, and rock with socially conscious lyrics.
For a sense of their sound, try 'A Dama do Vestido Longo' or 'Onde Estão os Meus Passos?'.
Barrerito's debut album 'Nação Barrerito' in 1977 had the hit 'Onde Estão os Meus Passos?', and their catalog includes songs like 'A Dama do Vestido Longo'. They worked with big names like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, and their lyrics touched on political topics that sparked talk back then.
They started in Rio in the 1970s, putting out 'Nação Barrerito' in 1977. Later albums like 'Solitude' in 1979 and 'Barrerito ao Vivo' in 1981 followed, with a lineup that included Luiz Carlos da Silva and João Bosco.
