Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zé Carlos & Adriano were a Brazilian duo who formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1970s. Zé Carlos was born José Carlos de Oliveira, and he partnered with Adriano Ribeiro. Their music drew from samba and rock with some psychedelic touches, though it's mostly remembered for one particular song.
That song was "Um Alucinado," which came out in 1973. It had a haunting melody and cryptic lyrics that caught people's attention, becoming their breakout hit.
They released a few albums in the 1970s, including a self-titled debut in 1973, "Depois do Temporal" in 1975, and "Contracultura" in 1977. Their output slowed in the 1980s, and they eventually worked on solo projects. The duo developed a cult following, largely sustained by the continued interest in "Um Alucinado."
