Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gaucho O Rei da Calabresa was a Brazilian band formed in the 1980s by Marcos Kleine. Their name translates to 'Gaucho the King of Calabrese,' a type of spicy sausage, which gives you a sense of their humorous, offbeat approach. Kleine wrote lyrics that poked at everyday absurdities and social norms, often with a dry, mocking tone.
Their debut album 'Ser Legal É Ser Quadrado' came out in 1985 and became their best-known work. The title track, along with songs like 'Verão 03,' established their style, catchy melodies wrapped around lyrics that celebrated being 'square' or conventional in a way that felt like a joke on convention itself. They followed it with albums like 'Calabrese Power' in 1987 and 'A Saga do Rei' in 1990.
The band included Marcos Kleine on vocals and guitar, Fábio Ermírio on bass, Edgard Scandurra on guitar, and Paulo Miklos on drums. In 1989, they faced a plagiarism lawsuit that drew some attention, though they eventually won it. Their music never aimed for mainstream polish, but it found an audience that appreciated its particular blend of wit and simple, memorable tunes.
