Editor's note

R-47, a late-70s Brazilian rock band

Their 1982 hit "Abra A Janela" mixed rock with Brazilian rhythms.

For a quick sense of them, try "Abra A Janela" and "Todos Os Dias". They frame that mix of rock energy and Brazilian melody pretty well.

R-47's sound blended rock and Brazilian rhythms in a way that felt specific to their moment. Songs like "Céu Azul" showed their melodic range, and their lyrics sometimes touched on social issues. Tracks like "Ainda Há Tempo" still get played on Brazilian radio.

They formed in the late 1970s with Zé Miguel on vocals, Carlão on guitar, Edinho on bass, and Nelson on drums. Their 1982 debut single "Abra A Janela" became a hit, and they released albums like "O Reflexo Do Lago" in 1983 and a self-titled record in 1986. Their activity tapered off as the 1980s ended, but they've played occasional reunion shows since.
