Brazil, Brazil

I would like to talk with you about my country, Brazil. You guys have probably heard of our carnival, our soccer, our women and that wild animals roam freely on the streets. Also, if you come to Brazil someday, please do not feed the animals, especially the monkeys. But what do you know about Brazilian music? Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil? Good, but do you know Secos & Molhados?

Any semelhance with Kiss is just a coincidence

The band was formed in 1972, with a mix of psychedelic pop, folk and glam rock (with strong riffs, strong make-up and bizarre outfits). They released only two albums before they got disbanded (in 1974), but it was enough to have great influence on brazilian music until today. Well, no more talk, you've got to hear them.

  5. I've always wanted to move to Venezuela, because it's close enough to Brazil, but a hell of a lot cheaper to live there...

  6. I have a cousin who stays in Brasilia. I have never seen him, he is not close to my family. However, I have a friend in Santiago and maybe one time I will go over for the Libertadores with some cash and head to Brazil....nice band.
