The second book of the Brazilian Music Records series features Acabou chorare, a mix of Jimi Hendrix’s distorted rock and João Gilberto’s bossa nova beat, with Novos Baianos at their best. In the book, the journalist Marcio Gaspar interviews musicians and other artists linked to the large Novos Baianos community to review the history of the album that blended rock, samba, bossa nova, experimentalism… and had an unprecedented impact on social behavior. As Paulinho Boca states in the book: ‘We were perhaps the first opinion leaders of Brazilian youth. Leaving the buildings for the squares, a new race’. The Brazilian Music Records series, published in Portuguese and English, is edited by the music critic Lauro Lisboa Garcia.
