Barão Vermelho is an emblematic rock band from Brazil whose influence has shaped the country's music scene since their formation in 1981. Co-founded by the legendary Cazuza (Agenor de Miranda Araújo Neto), who served as the band's original lead singer until 1985, and guitarist Roberto Frejat, the group quickly earned a reputation for their incendiary performances and intelligent lyrics. They gained a nationwide following with their raw energy and fusion of rock influences with Brazilian musical traditions.

After Cazuza's departure to pursue a solo career, and his subsequent tragic death due to AIDS-related complications, Frejat took over the lead vocals and the band continued to enjoy commercial and critical success. Barão Vermelho's discography is rich with a variety of rock genres, and their impact on the development of Brazilian rock is undeniable. With a career spanning over four decades, Barão Vermelho has showcased their staying power and adaptability in the music industry through the release of albums like "VIVA" and their 40th anniversary releases, including "Barão 40 (De Luxe)," and "Barão 40 (Acústico)." These compilations and remastered hits like "A Solidão Te Engole Vivo (Versão Acústica)" reflect their timeless appeal and continued evolution while celebrating their remarkable legacy in Brazilian music.
