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.  And what a wonderful voice of Jane Duboc.Moved me to check her solo works. Highly recommended to bossa nova fans. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

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. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

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. |

From brazilian bands I´m on the harder stuff (Sepultura, Ill Niño, Krisiun,Soulfly,
One Minute Silence).On the prog side I only know about Angra but don´t find them to be my
thing  ------------- The water rushes over all cities crash in the mighty wave; the final man is very small, plunging in for his final bathe |

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.

Guys. When I open this topic, I am asking you about the Prog Music. I love some few MPB stars, like Chico Buarque. João Gilberto and the eternal maestro Tom Jobim!!! But few friends here talk about the Brazilian Progressive bands... -------------

Angra, Tempus Fugit, Shaman, Thessera, etc, are all listed here, Jaja.
Some of those mentioned here are part of the prog-metal realm. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Is Shaman some kind of Angra´s parallel band or it is formed by any Angra´s member? ------------- The water rushes over all cities crash in the mighty wave; the final man is very small, plunging in for his final bathe |

I recommend the Jazz-Fusion people to check Lelo Nazário or perhaps the teams in the Alternative side. I'm quite sure I gave a CD of him to Martin Alucard last March when we met in Paris.

well, not exactly Prog Rock like Bacamarte or some of those later Mutantes albums...
But IMO the most progresssive musician on earth is Hermeto Pascoal, and his albums w/ "Grupo" are just awesome.
