Two groups that I consider part of tropicalism, released their debut albums in 1969, "Os Brazões" is one of them. Anyone who smokes marijuana must own this album. A very special red feather is inserted in each sleeve. Original copies are long time impossible to find, even in Brazil. For the first time on vinyl again since original 1969 RGE release with a new cover, hand-silk-screen printed with a very special red feather inserted in each sleeve. Rock, Samba, regional rhythms and much experimentalism mark the personality of the band and the disc, where the rich percussion work, the lyrics in Portuguese and recurrent use of regional rhythms, complete the formula of sound. Just like the legendary Paêbirú, the disc features a great mix of rhythms. Single record released by the band, "Os Brazões" was shown ahead of its time. Besides exploring african-Brazilian influences and tribal in style of dress and dance.
The group was a mix of psychedelic rock, Brazilian and African music, resulting in an alchemy between heavy syncopated sounds as ringtone Candomblé and guitar with distortion.
Cultivated a style immersed in tropical with high doses of psychedelia, fuzz guitar evidenced by Roberto and the wah-wah guitar of Miguel. But it was in Rio de Janeiro, in 1969, formed the band ''Os Brazões'' with guitarist Roberto,(lead guitar) Taco bassist, drummer Eduardo "Edu" Rocha, occasionally percussionists Mandrake and Gastão,but also passed through the band musicians Bandeyra Sérgio (guitar and vocals, formerly of Albatross band that played Lulu early career), Augusto Paulinho (guitar, who played in the Band), Roberto (organ), Luís Carlos (drums and percussion), Francis (drums and percussion),Clarita (backing vocals) and Walkíria (backing vocals) the backing band for various singers, including Gal Costa and Tom Zé. Miguel de Deus was a composer, arranger, guitarist and singer.
In full phase of Brazilian psychedelia,"Os Brazões"not fled to the rule. *** Reviewed by great fellow Adamus67 ***
