BTC: Secos e Molhados/Ney Matogrosso
No doubt, if you are Brazilian, have kin from Brazil, or you’re just generally fascinated by the brief, impassioned revolution of Tropicália/post-Tropicálismos, you’re already familiar with Secos & Molhados. Otherwise, all you really need to know before you chug your morning smoothie is this: S&M were a scrumptiously plumed and glittering glam-rock trio fronted by a sexy sopraniño beast named Ney Matogrosso, and they were fuhhuhHIERCE. Enjoy a sampling of their performances –and a few of Matogrosso’s solo clips– below:
Bear in mind, those trio clips are all pre-Rocky Horror, pre-KISS, and pre-Nomi.
RAWR.

Yes, I am Brazilian…I like some songs of secos & molhados for sure!
If I am not wrong one of the best was “Rosa de Hiroshima”, about the nuclear attack (2ndWW)

Thanks to remind me of them…makes me think again of my “despotic & cruel country”…I am deep sad to find myself mute as environmentalist while Brazil is burning out all hopes of their quiet people…they want me to shut up as well…but I won´t…I am little but annoying…hehe…
B.regards
ciao!

I´m Brazilian and when I was a child, my parents and relatives used to listen to Secos e Molhados a lot… I used to have lots of fun playing and listening to them at the same time…
I love them until now! They were really amazing!
Thanks for showing the world an aspect of Brazilian music that so many people are not familiar with… even here.
