How Did Erasmo Carlos Shape Brazilian Music?

TuneTraveller92 · Posted on March 25th, 2024

Born in the rhythmic heart of Rio de Janeiro, Erasmo Carlos remains a seminal figure in Brazilian music. With his roots deeply entrenched in the revolutionary 60s era, Erasmo, alongside his friend and collaborator Roberto Carlos, co-authored chart-busting tracks like "É Proibido Fumar," "Sentado à beira do caminho," "Além do Horizonte," "Amigo," and "Festa de Arromba."

Erasmo Carlos's journey through the currents of Brazilian pop-rock, particularly within the Jovem Guarda movement, catapulted him into the realms of television, magazines, and film, standing shoulder to shoulder with icons like Wanderléa. His initial pop-rock tunes gave way to a more introspective, melancholic style that marked the classic MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) records of the 70s, such as Sonhos e Memórias and Carlos, Erasmo.

With a career spanning from 1958 to the present, this singer-songwriter and actor has masterfully played the guitar and appealed to various generations with his music. Yet, the question lurks - how has modern music streaming, specifically platforms like TikTok Music, played a role in celebrating legends like Erasmo Carlos?
