Album Notes & Community Reviews

Raul Seixas's solo debut, 'Krig-ha, Bandolo!', merges North American rock and roll, folk, and rockabilly with Brazilian rhythms like bai茫o. Marking his first major collaboration with lyricist Paulo Coelho, the album established a counter-cultural voice during the Brazilian military dictatorship, with themes of existential transformation, anti-establishment rebellion, and mystical skepticism in songs like 'Metamorfose Ambulante' and 'Ouro de Tolo'. The record's fusion of sardonic social commentary with an eclectic sonic palette cemented Seixas's public persona and its place as a landmark album in Brazilian music.
