Editor's note

Gabriel Guerra, Rio's rock and samba rebel

A singer and guitarist who mixed hard rock with Brazilian sounds in the 1980s.

For a quick sense of his sound, try 'Por que?' or 'Em Vão'. They've got that mix of rock drive and Brazilian phrasing he was known for.

He came up in Rio's Madureira neighborhood, around samba and rock from a young age. His debut album in 1983 had a hit called 'Só Pro Meu Prazer', and his lyrics felt rebellious to fans. Songs like 'Por que?' and 'Em Vão' kept that edge through the decade.

He started playing in a band called Os Titãs as a teenager. After the 1983 debut, he put out albums like 'Guerra!' in 1985 and 'Abertura' in 1990, with his band lineup shifting over time.
