ROCK THE WORLD!


This kind of music started in the EUA, in 1950. Different from everything, rock joined a fast rhythm with a little black music from the south of the USA and the country side. The most important instruments are the electric guitar, the bass and the drums with an innovating movement. With simple lyrics and fast rhythm, it soon pleased people’s taste when it was played in a radio program.

The first hit in Brazil was the famous song “Banho de Lua” in the 60´s. The Jovem Guarda movement launches singers such as Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos and Wanderléa, with romantic lyrics.

In the 1970’s, Raul Seixas and Secos e Molhados arose in the musical scenery. In the next decade other bands were very successful, such as: Ultraje a Rigor, Legião Urbana, Titãs, Barão Vermelho, Kid Abelha, Engenheiros do Hawai, Blitz and Os Paralamas do Sucesso.
