Renato Terra

The documentary retraces the band's meteoric rise, as they became the biggest phenomenon in Brazilian music in 1995 — and one of the most remarkable in the country's history.

An intimate portrait of Preta Gil, crafted from never-before-seen footage and moving testimonials that reveal her strength in the face of life and illness.

The documentary takes Belchior’s famous 1976 album as a starting point to construct a chronicle of 1970s Brazil—a time defined by a generation that sought to change the world but was ultimately cut down by dictatorships or co-opted by money.

The 80th birthday of Erasmo Carlos, pioneer of Brazilian rock, in never-before-seen images: the Tijuca gang, Jovem Guarda, international success, Roberto Carlos and his influence on behavior.

The series places Brazil and the world in the context of 1973 to show how fertile that period was for local music production. Each episode addresses a specific theme—such as military regime censorship, the rise of samba at the time, Brazilian rock, the importance of iconic album covers, production outside the Rio-São Paulo axis, and the renewal of bossa nova. To this end, the series invites musicians like Odair José, Charles Gavin, and Roberto Menescal, as well as journalists such as Silvio Essinger, Paulo Cesar de Araújo, and Renato Terra, to share behind-the-scenes details from that era. Each account is complemented by extensive research, featuring performances and interviews with artists who defined the year and remain fundamental to the history of Brazilian music.

In the 1970s, "festivals" were incredibly popular in Brazil, as they were recorded before a live studio audience, and usually featured a number of elimination rounds. They also formed the springboard for the career of many a big-name stars, such as Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Roberto Carlos and Gilberto Gil. Appearing on such a program was no cakewalk, however: audiences could be as wild in their condemnation as in their appreciation of an artist. Extensive archive footage (including performances and behind-the-scenes interviews) from the turbulent final evening of the Festival of Brazilian Popular Music 1967 paints a fascinating picture, not only of the transformation of Brazilian music into real "festival" music, but also of a society starting to buck against the yoke of military rule.
