Rebanhão formed in the mid-1970s in Franca, Brazil, where a group of young musicians started blending rock with Brazilian folk rhythms. Their debut album 'Luz do Mundo' came out in 1977, and they followed it with records like 'Aleluia' in 1979 and 'Tempo de Festa' in 1983.
Their 1988 album 'Baião' became a national phenomenon, mixing rock with Brazilian folk in a way that connected with Christian youth. Songs like 'Arca (Festa de Arromba Evangélica)' and 'Semeador' show how they worked within that space.
They faced some skepticism early on from both secular and religious circles about combining faith with rock music, but kept playing and recording through the late 1980s with albums like 'Pra Cima' in 1989.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
