Hi,

I'm from Brazil.
I would like to know which bands do you know and what you think abaout the bands.
 
My favorites are:
 
BACAMARTE - "Depois do Fim" is a historical album. Very symphonic and beautiful. Excelent guitarrist !!!
 
QUATERNA REQUIEM - "VELHA GRAVURA" is a great album. Lot of keyboards and violin in a wonderful instrumental album. Their second "QUASIMODO" is great too. The QUASIMODO suite is marvellous!!!
 
SAGRADO CORAÇÃO DA TERRA - Wonderful records but bored few times. This is my third favorite brazilian band.

Excellent album. Clap And what a wonderful voice of Jane Duboc.

Moved me to check her solo works. Highly recommended to bossa nova fans.

BACAMARTE - Depois do Fim is the only Brazilian prog I own, and that was just purchased last week. Sounds good so far, need so absorption time.

Never owned a Sepultura album, but I did see them live and it was one of the most annoying concert experiences of my life. Simple, uninteresting and obnoxious.

I'm afraid I don't know that many Brazillian bands but I quite like Tempus Fugit though I think they would benefit from a better vocalist.

I've also got a couple of Sepultura cd's which are okay but I don't listen to that sort of stuff much these days.

One Minute Silence).On the prog side I only know about Angra but don´t find them to be my

The real issue with Brazilian bands (and I guess it happened in other South American countries) is the general, and incorrect, belief that they are derivative from UK or Italy bands and so the hearer will say: "If I can get the original why should I get a copy?".
The matter is that Brazilian bands, back in 1967/1968, were drinking directly from the fountain of British/Continental underground and/or West Coast movement. Mutantes started in 1967, O Terço in 1968, other bands a long time disappeared like Bolha, A Tribo, Novos Baianos, Som Imaginário, etc, also started in late 60s. How could they be influenced by Italian Symphonic or be Crimson-like if they were born so early?
These original prog bands blended the sound they captured in North America and Europe with Brazilian popular/folk/ethnic and also with some spices from our neighbors to create a very interesting, unusual and exquisite sound. Later, in the beginning of the 70s, when influences from the prog giants were more intense the new bands had stuff to grab from outside and inside the country, like A Barca Do Sol, Terreno Baldio, Bacamarte, etc.
That said, I recommend O Terço, still active with 40 years on the road, especially if you're a symphonic appreciator and from the mid-age bands: Quaterna Requiem & Sagrado Coração Da Terra.
For the newer bands, I'd go with: Chronos Mundi, Vesânia, Tarkus (not an ELP clone), Arion, Spin XXI, Tempus Fugit, Aether, Diapasão, Solis, Octohpera, Index, Poços & Nuvens and Trem Do Futuro. All listed here in PA and to be heard taking history in consideration and with an open mind and heart. Smile

The only Brazilian bands I know are Sepultura and Overdose, and both are Thrash Metal Bands...

Would you like some Bailey's?
